B
A conscious client benefits from drinking hot liquids such as soup.
Alcohol should be avoided.
Caffeinated fluids should be avoided.
Affected extremities should be warmed gradually. Tissue damage could occur if the extremities are placed under hot water. The entire body should be warmed, such as by putting heating pads next to the head and neck, where heat is lost most quickly.
