Question 251Safety & Environmental - QMED
70% to passTreatment of heat exhaustion should consist of _______________.
Aplacing patient in a tub of cold water
Bmoving to a shaded area and laying down
Cbathing with rubbing alcohol
Dall the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) moving to a shaded area and laying down. The key for treating heat exhaustion is to cool the body down and rehydrate the person. Moving the patient to a shaded, cool area and having them rest in a lying down position allows the body to naturally regulate its temperature. Immersing the patient in cold water (A) or bathing with alcohol (C) can actually be dangerous, as it can cause the body to lose too much heat too quickly, potentially leading to hypothermia. Option D, which includes all the incorrect treatments, is therefore not the right choice.
