A crew member has suffered possible frostbite to the toes of both feet. You should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) immerse the feet in warm water.
The reason this is the correct answer is that the proper first aid treatment for suspected frostbite is to gently warm the affected area, usually by immersing it in warm (not hot) water. This helps restore circulation and prevent further tissue damage. Warming the feet at room temperature (A), rubbing the feet (B), or using a heat lamp (C) are not recommended, as they can cause additional injury to the frostbitten tissue.
Immersing the feet in warm water is the safest and most effective way to treat suspected frostbite in this situation, as it gradually warms the affected area without causing further harm.
