Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Thermal hazards are not internal risk factors. All other options listed are internal risk factors.

The hypothermic individual should be moved to a warmer environment, wrapped in blankets or other insulating material, and given warm, not hot, drinks or food. Putting an individual in a warm bath may cause cardiovascular problems or skin damage.
