    What is the first symptom of hypothermia?

    • Unconsciousness

    • Drowsiness

    • Listlessness

    • Shivering

    Correct Answer
    A. Shivering

Shivering is the body's natural response to cold temperatures in an attempt to increase its internal heat production. As the body continues to lose heat, other symptoms such as drowsiness, listlessness, and eventually unconsciousness may occur. However, shivering is typically the initial warning sign that indicates the onset of hypothermia.
