Q: What should you not do for someone suffering from heat

stroke? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A: Ice Blanket, do not give them
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


food or water. While waiting for the paramedics to arrive, initiate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


first aid. Move the person to an air-conditioned environment -- or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


at least a cool, shady area -- and remove any unnecessary
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


clothing. If possible, take the person's core body temperature and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


initiate first aid to cool it to 101 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If no
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


thermometers are available, don't hesitate to initiate first aid. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




You may also try these cooling strategies:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




• Fan air over the patient while wetting his or her skin with water
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


from a sponge or garden hose.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




• Apply ice packs to the patient's armpits, groin, neck, and back.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Because these areas are rich with blood vessels close to the skin,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cooling them may reduce body temperature.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




• Immerse the patient in a shower or tub of cool water, or an ice
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


bath.
