Explanation:

For question 13:
When stung by a bee, the first step is to remove the stinger as it can continue to inject venom. Using a flat object (like a credit card) or tweezers is a common method. Washing with soap and water, covering with a bandage, or applying a cold compress are steps that come after stinger removal.
For question 14:
A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to a sting can cause difficulty breathing (due to airway swelling) or swelling beyond the sting site (systemic reaction). Swelling at the sting site only, mild redness, or itching at the sting site are more common mild local reactions.
For question 15:
Heat exhaustion is often characterized by heavy sweating (as the body tries to cool itself), dizziness (from fluid and electrolyte loss affecting circulation), and nausea (due to heat - related stress on the body). Chills and shivering are more associated with hypothermia. High body temperature and confusion are more indicative of heat stroke. Muscle cramps can be a part of heat - related issues but are not the only or most common symptom of heat exhaustion.

Answer:

1. Remove the stinger using a flat object or tweezers.
2. Difficulty breathing or swelling beyond the sting site.
3. Heavy sweating, dizziness, and nausea.
