The newborn has been placed in skin-to-skin contact with his mother. a blanket covers all of his body except his head. his hair is still wet with amniotic fluid, etc. what is the most likely type of heat loss this baby may experience?

The baby will experience heat loss due to the evaporation of the fluid on his head.
