🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat exhaustion vs. heat stroke – early vs. late/serious heat illness • Typical skin appearance and sweating in heat exhaustion • Typical pulse and breathing patterns when the body is overheated but still trying to cool itself

💭 Think About

• When someone is overheated but still sweating and trying to cool down, how would you expect their skin to look and feel? • Would the heart rate and breathing usually be faster or slower when the body is under heat stress but not yet in full collapse? • Which choice describes a condition where the body is still sweating and trying to lose heat, rather than having already stopped sweating?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option shows active cooling (sweating, clammy skin) rather than dry skin • Check which choices describe slow vital signs; ask yourself if that matches someone under heat stress • Remember that flushed, hot, and dry skin is more typical of a more severe heat condition than heat exhaustion
