🔍 Key Concepts

• Stages and signs of hypothermia (mild vs. severe) • Safe rewarming methods vs. dangerous rapid rewarming • Risks of sudden exertion and localized heat on very cold tissue

💭 Think About

• Which option allows the body’s core temperature to rise in a controlled, even way rather than just warming the skin? • Which methods could cause heart rhythm problems or shock if the person is already severely cold? • Think about what you’ve learned about moving or exercising a hypothermic person—when is that recommended, and when is it risky?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which methods involve gentle, controlled whole‑body rewarming rather than sudden, intense heat. • Check which choices might increase the risk of cardiac arrest or afterdrop (continued cooling of the core) in severe hypothermia. • Eliminate any option that relies mainly on exercise or strong external heat on one body area for someone who is already seriously hypothermic.
