Question 23 • Sports Medicine 1a

Gavin is experiencing heatstroke. What is likely TRUE about Gavin?

Answer
A
He did not drink enough fluids.
B
He has severe allergies.
C
He was exposed to cold water.
D
He requires epinephrine.

Explanation

Heatstroke can occur when the body overheats, often during hot weather or strenuous activity, and dehydration can raise the risk. Not drinking enough fluids is therefore the likely true statement. Severe allergies and the need for epinephrine are associated with anaphylaxis, not heatstroke; exposure to cold water does not explain it.
