question 5
you are providing care for a 16 - year - old male who was at football practice when he started complaining of a headache and feeling very nauseated. he was just sitting on the sidelines when this occurred, as it was a very hot day. on closer inspection, the victims pulse is very rapid and he is very pale. based on this information, you should:
) help him remove his equipment and spray him with cool water.
call 9 - 1 - 1 immediately.
give the victim salt tablets.
all of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

The victim has symptoms like headache, nausea, rapid pulse, and paleness on a hot day. These could indicate a serious heat - related illness (like heatstroke). Removing equipment and spraying with water (while a good first - aid step for less severe heat - related issues) may not be sufficient. Salt tablets are not a recommended treatment for such potentially serious conditions. Calling 9 - 1 - 1 immediately is crucial as professional medical help is needed to assess and treat what could be a life - threatening situation.

Answer:

call 9 - 1 - 1 immediately.
