🔍 Key Concepts

• Hypothermia prevention in cold water and how the body loses heat • The purpose and proper use of a survival suit (immersion suit) • The effect of clothing and movement on heat loss in the water

đź’­ Think About

• Think about how your body loses heat fastest in cold water: through exposed skin, movement of water around the body, or trapped insulation? • Ask yourself what a survival suit is designed to do and how clothing underneath it might affect its performance. • Consider whether constant movement in cold water helps you stay warm or makes you lose heat faster.

âś… Before You Answer

• Which option best reduces heat loss from your body to the cold water? • Which choice correctly matches how survival suits are intended to be worn in cold conditions? • Eliminate any options that would increase exposure to cold water or speed up heat loss, even if they sound active or healthy.
