It’s an extremely hot day, and you arrive to assist a conscious person who appears to be suffering from heat exhaustion. What steps should you take?
Correct Incorrect If heat exhaustion escalates to heat stroke, your patient's life could be at risk. To prevent this, move her to a cooler environment—either shaded or air-conditioned—remove any tight or heavy clothing, have her lie down with her legs elevated, and provide her with a cool, non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated drink while fanning or spraying her with water.
