How should you initially treat heat exhaustion?

Engage in vigorous exercise
Move to a cool and shady place
Apply a heating pad
Wrap in heavy blankets

The correct answer is: Move to a cool and shady place

The most effective initial treatment for heat exhaustion is to move to a cool and shady place. This action helps to reduce body temperature and alleviate the stress that heat puts on the body. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to more severe heat-related illnesses, so removing yourself from the heat is essential. Finding a cooler environment allows the body to start cooling down effectively. Moreover, this step can be paired with additional measures like hydration and rest, promoting a quicker recovery. Other options, such as engaging in vigorous exercise, applying a heating pad, or wrapping in heavy blankets, would further raise the body’s temperature and exacerbate the symptoms of heat exhaustion, making the situation worse rather than improving it.
