Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Athletes should wear lightweight and loose clothing, practice in the morning to avoid peak heat hours, and rest frequently in the shade to prevent overheating. While athletes should drink plenty of fluids for hydration, liquids should be nonalcoholic, noncaffeinated, and low sugar; liquids with alcohol, caffeine, and sugar increase dehydration. Dark-colored clothing will absorb heat; athletes should wear light-colored clothing.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
A victim request to be moved is not a valid reason to do so if the victim is safe. The patient should be removed from pooled gasoline, oncoming traffic, submerging snow, and hot pavement.
