AImmersing the feet in an adequate amount of water maintained between 34oF to 37.6oF.
BImmersing the feet in an adequate amount of water maintained between 94oF to 97.6oF.
CImmersing the feet in an adequate amount of water maintained between 104oF to 107.6oF.
DImmersing the feet in an adequate amount of water maintained between 144oF to 147.6oF.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Immersing the feet in an adequate amount of water maintained between 104oF to 107.6oF. This is the preferred temperature range for the wet rapid rewarming method in treating frostbite of the feet. The rapid rewarming at this temperature helps to increase blood flow and tissue oxygenation, which is critical for preventing further tissue damage. Temperatures outside this range, such as those in options A, B, and D, would either be too cold or too hot, and could cause additional harm to the affected area.
