- A.
The nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, and toes
- B.
The legs
- C.
The stomach
Correct Answer
A. The nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, and toesExplanation
The body parts most at risk for frostbite are the nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, and toes because these areas are more exposed to cold temperatures and have less insulation compared to other parts of the body. When exposed to extreme cold, blood vessels in these areas constrict to conserve heat, leading to decreased blood flow and increased vulnerability to frostbite. Additionally, these body parts have less muscle mass, which makes them more susceptible to cold injury.Rate this question:

True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When working in cold conditions, covering your head is important because a significant amount of body heat is lost through the head. By wearing a hat or some form of head covering, you can help retain body heat and prevent excessive heat loss, which can lead to discomfort, hypothermia, and other cold-related illnesses.Rate this question:
