If you are hiking in cold weather and someone in your group starts experiencing uncontrollable shivering, confusion, and slurred speech, what is the immediate priority for first aid?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
These symptoms indicate hypothermia. The immediate priority is to prevent further heat loss and gently warm the person. Removing wet clothing, adding dry insulation, and providing warm, sugary (non-alcoholic) drinks helps the body generate heat. Vigorous exercise or rapid warming (like immersion) can be dangerous for someone with moderate to severe hypothermia.
