Questions and Answers

1.

You want to call 911 when someone has a heat stroke.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When someone has a heat stroke, it is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Heat stroke occurs when the body's temperature regulation system fails, leading to a dangerously high body temperature. This can be life-threatening and requires prompt medical intervention. Calling 911 is the appropriate action to take in such a situation as it ensures that trained medical professionals can respond quickly and provide the necessary treatment.

2.

If someone has frostbite what should you NOT do...
- A.
  
  Call 911
- B.
  
  Put a cold compress on frostbite
- C.
  
  Remove cold clothing
Correct Answer
B. Put a cold compress on frostbite

Explanation
Putting a cold compress on frostbite is not recommended because it can further damage the affected tissue. Frostbite occurs when the skin and underlying tissues freeze due to extreme cold temperatures. Applying a cold compress can worsen the condition by causing additional freezing and potentially leading to more severe tissue damage. Instead, it is advised to gently warm the frostbitten area using warm (not hot) water or by covering it with warm blankets. Seeking medical assistance, such as calling 911, is also crucial in severe cases of frostbite.

3.

One of the symptoms of heat exhaustion is Confusion.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Heat exhaustion is a condition that occurs when the body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Confusion is indeed one of the symptoms of heat exhaustion. When the body gets too hot, it can affect the brain and lead to mental confusion, disorientation, and difficulty concentrating. Other symptoms of heat exhaustion include excessive sweating, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, and pale skin. If left untreated, heat exhaustion can progress to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition. Therefore, it is important to recognize the symptoms of heat exhaustion and take immediate steps to cool down and rehydrate the body.

4.

A condition of having abnormally low body temperature is frostbite.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Frostbite is not a condition of having abnormally low body temperature. Frostbite is actually a condition caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues due to exposure to extremely cold temperatures. It is characterized by numbness, tingling, and discoloration of the affected area. Abnormally low body temperature is known as hypothermia, which is a separate condition. Therefore, the given statement is false.

Rate this question:
5.

If someone is sweating and they are pale what is there what injury do they have?
- A.
  
  Heat Exhaustion
- B.
  
  Heat Stroke
Correct Answer
A. Heat Exhaustion

Explanation
If someone is sweating and they are pale, it indicates that they are experiencing heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats due to exposure to high temperatures or excessive physical activity. Sweating is the body's natural response to cool down, while paleness can be a result of decreased blood flow to the skin. Other symptoms of heat exhaustion may include dizziness, weakness, nausea, and headache. It is important to provide the person with water, move them to a cooler place, and seek medical attention if their condition worsens.
