🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke • Typical changes in skin color and moisture when the body is overheated but still sweating • Role of sweating in the body’s cooling system

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a person who is still able to sweat a lot in an effort to cool down? • In early-stage overheating (not the most severe form), would you expect the skin to be very dry or very sweaty? • Think about a worker on deck on a very hot day who is about to collapse but is not yet in the most life-threatening condition—how would their skin likely look and feel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the correct choice shows active sweating, not dry skin • Check that the skin description fits someone who is weak, dizzy, and overheated, not someone already in full heat stroke • Eliminate any option that suggests no sweating with hot skin, which is more consistent with heat stroke than heat exhaustion
