Question 46 • TX-Environmental Systems-BCAS

Which of the following is not a risk factor for water intoxication?

Answer
A
a low body mass
B
heat stress
C
resting
D
overexertion

Explanation

Water intoxication occurs when someone takes in more water than the body can safely handle, especially when exercise or heat leads to excessive drinking and disrupts the body’s fluid balance. A low body mass can also increase vulnerability because less water may be needed to cause an imbalance. Resting, by itself, is not a risk factor, so the correct choice is “resting.”
