🔍 Key Concepts

• Signs and dangers of heatstroke/sunstroke (very high body temperature, hot dry skin, possible confusion or collapse) • Goals of first aid for hyperthermia (lower body temperature safely, protect the brain and vital organs, prevent shock) • Things that can worsen shock or stress the heart (sudden temperature changes, stimulants, alcohol on skin, overloading the stomach)

💭 Think About

• Which option focuses on gently lowering body temperature and protecting circulation without shocking the body? • Which choice avoids putting extra strain on the heart, circulation, or stomach of a person who may already be collapsing? • Think about standard first-aid guidance for someone who is overheated, dizzy, and possibly unconscious in a very hot environment.

✅ Before You Answer

• Does the option reduce heat exposure (sun, hot environment) and help the body cool naturally? • Does the treatment avoid strong chemicals, stimulants, or extreme temperatures that could shock the system? • Is the action safe even if the patient is confused or semi-conscious (for example, could they choke or aspirate?)
