Title: On the fourth day of a 100-plus degree heat wave with high humidity, you are called to a residence f Post by: citylites on Dec 29, 2015 On the fourth day of a 100-plus degree heat wave with high humidity, you are called to a residence for a sick person. A 52-year-old male who was building a shed in his back yard has collapsed. His skin is flushed, but his clothes are wet with sweat. He responds only to painful stimuli. Your first priority should be to:
A) move him into the shade or, if possible, indoors. B) apply oxygen by nonrebreather mask. C) elevate his legs 10 to 12 inches. D) pour cool water over the patient and fan him aggressively.
