(see full question) facility. The nurse expresses concern due to the high heat and

maintenan

unmeasurable. Those with respiratory deficits and allergies may be
only able to be outside for a limited period. Those with
cardiovascular compromise may need to alternate outdoor activities
with indoor rest. (less)
