💭 Think About

• Which option best matches modern first-aid guidance for a person who has overheated in the sun and may have altered mental status? • Would suddenly drinking very cold water be safe for someone who may be nauseated, confused, or semi-conscious? • Is rubbing alcohol on the skin considered a recommended, standard treatment for sunstroke in current first-aid practice?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice emphasizes moving the victim out of the sun and lowering body temperature safely • Consider whether any option might increase risk (shock, aspiration, skin irritation) rather than help • Ask: Which answer would a current first-aid manual most likely endorse as the primary treatment approach?
