Question

which of the following is not an early sign of hypothermia?

a. uncontrollable urge to fall asleep.

b. blue tinge to lips, eyelids and fingertips.

c. uncontrollable shivering.

d. numb hands and feet.

Explanation:

Early signs of hypothermia typically include shivering (as the body tries to generate heat), numbness in extremities (due to reduced blood flow to conserve heat), and a blue tinge (cyanosis from poor circulation). An uncontrollable urge to sleep is a later, more severe sign, not an early one.

Answer:

A. Uncontrollable urge to fall asleep.
