Question 74Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is B) Heat stroke. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness, and it occurs when the body loses its ability to regulate its core temperature. In heat stroke, the body's temperature control system fails, and the body's temperature can rise to 104°F (40°C) or higher. At this point, the body is unable to cool itself down effectively, leading to a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. The other options are incorrect because they do not involve the complete failure of the body's temperature regulation system. Heat prostration, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps are less severe heat-related illnesses where the body can still maintain some level of temperature control, even if it is struggling to do so.
