question 10/1

Explanation:

For a serious heat reaction (like heat stroke), the correct ice - water bath procedure involves removing restrictive items (equipment, shirt) and submerging all but the head to cool the body effectively. Immersing entirely is dangerous, cooling before is incorrect (ice bath is for rapid cooling), and waiting for EMS without initial cooling delays treatment.

Answer:

B. Remove the student’s equipment and shirt, and then submerge all but the head in the ice water bath.
