Question

while outdoors, you drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks, and shed layers as you warm up. these are steps to prevent: a hypothermia b snakebite c heat exhaustion d frostbite

Explanation:

• Drinking plenty of water helps maintain hydration, which is crucial in preventing heat - related issues. Taking frequent breaks allows the body to rest and not over - exert in a warm environment. Shedding layers as one warms up helps the body regulate its temperature.
• Hypothermia (A) is related to low body temperature (usually in cold environments), so these actions are not for preventing it. Snakebite (B) prevention would involve things like wearing appropriate footwear and being aware of surroundings, not the actions mentioned. Frostbite (D) is also related to cold exposure. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats, and the steps like hydration (drinking water), rest (taking breaks), and temperature regulation (shedding layers) are preventive measures for heat exhaustion.

Answer:

C. heat exhaustion
