Question 3 • Sports Medicine 1a

Fatima has hypothermia. What is the MOST logical action for her athletic trainer to take to help Fatima’s condition?

Answer
A
The athletic trainer should administer an EpiPen in Fatima’s leg.
B
The athletic trainer should place a bag of ice on Fatima’s neck.
C
The athletic trainer should position Fatima on her back and elevate her legs.
D
The athletic trainer should cover Fatima’s body with blankets.

Explanation

Hypothermia occurs when the body becomes dangerously cold, so the most logical action is to help retain body heat by covering Fatima with blankets. An EpiPen treats severe allergic reactions, and an ice bag would make her colder. Elevating her legs does not address the hypothermia.
