    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that drinking coffee or soda can help alleviate symptoms of tiredness, weakness, nausea, and cramps. However, this is incorrect. While caffeine in coffee or soda may provide a temporary energy boost, it does not address the underlying causes of these symptoms. Resting and hydrating with water or electrolyte-rich drinks would be more effective in relieving these symptoms. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Once a person is overheated, the next step is fainting and then possibly death if the individual is not cooled down.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a person becomes overheated, their body temperature rises to dangerous levels. This can lead to fainting as the body tries to regulate its temperature. If the person is not cooled down promptly, their condition can worsen and potentially result in death. Therefore, it is important to take immediate action to cool down an overheated individual to prevent further complications.

    • Heat Stroke

    • Heat Exhaustion

    • Heat Cramps

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat Exhaustion
    Explanation
    Skin, weakness, nausea, headache, and a body temperature higher than normal are all signs of heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats and is unable to cool itself down properly. This can happen due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or physical exertion in hot conditions. Symptoms such as skin changes, weakness, nausea, headache, and an elevated body temperature are typical indicators of heat exhaustion. It is important to recognize and treat heat exhaustion promptly to prevent it from progressing to a more severe condition like heat stroke.
