Question 12 • Health Science Concepts - 248258-Fall (EL3602)

If a person has hypothermia, which of the following is true?

Answer
A
The person was exposed to really hot temperatures.
B
The person has a hard time staying hydrated.
C
The person is losing heat faster than the body can produce it.
D
The person’s pancreas is not making enough insulin.

Explanation

Hypothermia happens when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing its core temperature to become dangerously low. So choice C, “The person is losing heat faster than the body can produce it,” is true. Exposure to very hot temperatures is associated with overheating, while insufficient insulin production is related to diabetes.
