Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hypothermia (marked cooling of core temperature) produces depression of the central nervous and respiratory systems, vasoconstriction, alterations in microcirculation, coagulation, and is-chemic tissue damage. Hypothermia does not lead to increased respirations, CNS excitation, or increased cellular metabolism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Symptoms of heat stroke include high core temperature, absence of sweating, rapid pulse, confu-sion, agitation, and coma, and complications include cerebral edema and degeneration of the CNS. Neither cramping nor alterations in calcium uptake are considered complications of a heat stroke.
