🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat exhaustion vs. heat stroke – which one is this question about? • The body's need to cool down gradually and replace lost fluids • Dangers of overcooling or doing nothing to address dehydration

💭 Think About

• Which options directly help the body recover from fluid and salt loss after working in a hot environment? • Which options might be appropriate only if the person is not breathing or has progressed to a more serious condition than heat exhaustion? • Which options could be dangerous because they cool the body too fast or don’t address the main problem?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the person in the question is described as conscious and breathing – what treatment fits that situation? • Check which choice helps both cool the body safely and restore fluids lost through sweating. • Eliminate any option that would be used only for no breathing / cardiac arrest or that risks shock from sudden extreme cooling.
