The MOST obvious way to reduce heat loss from radiation
and convection is to:
• A:move away from a cold object.
• B:increase metabolism by shivering.
• C:wear a thick wind-proof jacket.
• D:move to a warmer environment. - Answers-you
selected D; This is correct!
Reason:In a cold environment, the body has two ways of
staying warm: generating heat (thermogenesis) and
reducing heat loss. Radiation is the transfer of heat by
radiant energy. The body can lose heat by radiation, such
as when a person stands in a cold room. Convection
occurs when heat is transferred to circulating air, as when
cool air moves across the body's surface. A person
standing in windy cold weather, wearing lightweight
clothing, is losing heat to the environment mostly by
convection. The quickest and most obvious way to
decrease heat loss from radiation and convection is to

move out of the cold environment and seek shelter from
wind. Shivering increases the body's metabolism and is a
mechanism for generating heat, not reducing heat loss.
Layers of clothing trap air and provide excellent insulation;
thus, layered clothing decreases heat loss better than a
single, thick jacket. Conduction is the direct transfer of
heat from a part of the body to a colder object by direct
contact, as when a warm hand touches cold metal or ice.
The most obvious way to decrease heat loss by
conduction is to remove your hand from the cold object.
A near-drowning is MOST accurately defined as:
• A:complications within 24 hours following submersion in
water.
• B:immediate death due to prolonged submersion in
water.
• C:survival for at least 24 hours following submersion in
water.
• D:death greater than 24 hours following submersion in
water. - Answers-You selected C; This is correct!
Reason:Collectively, drowning and near-drowning are
referred to as submersion injuries. Drowning is defined as
death after submersion in a liquid medium, usually water.

In a drowning, death is either immediate or occurs within
24 hours following submersion. Near-drowning is defined
as survival, at least temporarily (24 hours), after
submersion. It should be noted, however, that
complications such as pneumonia and pulmonary edema
can cause death greater than 24 hours following
submersion. For this reason, all patients with a
submersion injury should be transported to the hospital,
even if they appear fine at the scene.
Hypoglycemia and acute ischemic stroke can present
similarly because:
• A:both oxygen and glucose are needed for brain function.
• B:the majority of stroke patients have a history of
diabetes.
• C:the most common cause of a stroke is hypoglycemia.
• D:they are both caused by low levels of glucose in the
blood. - Answers-• A:both oxygen and glucose are needed
for brain function.
Reason: Although stroke and hypoglycemia are two
distinctly different conditions, their signs and symptoms
are often similar. This is because the brain requires both
oxygen and glucose to function normally. An acute
, 4|Page
ischemic stroke is caused by a lack of oxygen to a part of
the brain due to a blocked cerebral artery, whereas
hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level) deprives the entire
brain of glucose. In either case, the patient presents with
signs of impaired brain function (ie, slurred speech,
weakness, altered mental status). Both conditions may
lead to permanent brain damage or death if not treated
promptly.
When dealing with an emotionally disturbed patient, you
should be MOST concerned with:
• A:gathering all of the patient's medications.
• B:safely transporting to the hospital.
• C:whether the patient could harm you.
• D:obtaining a complete medical history. - Answers-You
selected C; This is correct!
Reason: When managing any patient with an emotional or
psychiatric crisis, your primary concern is your own safety.
Safely transporting the patient to the hospital is your
ultimate goal. If possible, you should attempt to obtain a
medical history and should take any of the patient's
prescribed medications to the hospital. However, this
