Questions and Answers

1.

The body parts most at risk for frostbite are:
- A.
  
  The nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, and toes
- B.
  
  The legs
- C.
  
  The stomach
Correct Answer
A. The nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, and toes

Explanation
The body parts most at risk for frostbite are the nose, ears, cheeks, fingers, and toes because these areas are more exposed to cold temperatures and have less insulation compared to other parts of the body. When exposed to extreme cold, blood vessels in these areas constrict to conserve heat, leading to decreased blood flow and increased vulnerability to frostbite. Additionally, these body parts have less muscle mass, which makes them more susceptible to cold injury.

Hypothermia occurs when your body temperature gets dangerously low.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops to a dangerously low level. It is a condition that can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, confusion, drowsiness, and loss of coordination. It can be caused by exposure to cold temperatures, prolonged immersion in cold water, or certain medical conditions. It is important to take precautions and dress appropriately in cold weather to prevent hypothermia.

Clothing will best protect against frostbite and hypothermia if it’s
- A.
  
  Tight
- B.
  
  Loose and layered
- C.
  
  Light-colored
Correct Answer
B. Loose and layered

Explanation
Wear proper winter clothing that insulates (layers) from the cold and lets perspiration evaporate (loose) while protecting from the wind, rain and snow. Protect feet and toes. Wear two layers of socks — cotton underneath a pair of wool socks is best — with a pair of well-fitted boots that come above the ankle.

4.

When you’re going to work in cold conditions, it’s especially important to cover your head.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When working in cold conditions, covering your head is important because a significant amount of body heat is lost through the head. By wearing a hat or some form of head covering, you can help retain body heat and prevent excessive heat loss, which can lead to discomfort, hypothermia, and other cold-related illnesses.
