  Nasuea
- B.
  
  Fatigue
- C.
  
  Profuse sweating
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
When someone goes into shock, their body's response to a sudden drop in blood pressure causes various symptoms. Nausea can occur due to decreased blood flow to the digestive system. Fatigue is a common symptom as the body redirects blood to vital organs, causing a decrease in energy levels. Profuse sweating is another response as the body tries to regulate its temperature. Therefore, all of the above symptoms can be experienced when someone goes into shock.

Explanation
The correct answer is lying flat with legs elevated approximately 8-12 inches.

  Do not move the person

Correct Answer(s)
A. Do not move the person
B. Keep the person still

Explanation
If you have reason to believe an injured party may have a spinal injury, it is important not to move the person as any unnecessary movement can potentially worsen the injury. Keeping the person still helps to prevent further damage to the spine. Immobilizing the head is also crucial as it helps to stabilize the neck and prevent any potential movement that could cause harm to the spinal cord. Raising their legs, however, is not recommended as it can potentially worsen a spinal injury.

  Flushed skin
- C.
  
  Rapid breathing
- D.
  
  Headache
Correct Answer(s)
A. High body temperature
B. Flushed skin
C. Rapid breathing
D. Headache

Explanation
The signs of heat stroke include a high body temperature, flushed skin, rapid breathing, and headache. These symptoms are commonly associated with heat stroke and indicate that the body is overheating. High body temperature is a key indicator of heat stroke, as the body's temperature regulation system is overwhelmed. Flushed skin occurs due to the body's attempt to cool down by dilating blood vessels near the skin's surface. Rapid breathing helps the body expel heat and regulate its temperature. Headache can be a result of the body's dehydration and stress from overheating.
