What should you do if a victim of hypothermia is semi-conscious?

Encourage them to exercise
Keep them awake and responsive
Leave them alone to recover
Give them cold water

The correct answer is: Keep them awake and responsive

When dealing with a victim of hypothermia, especially one who is semi-conscious, it is crucial to keep them awake and responsive. Maintaining responsiveness helps assess their condition and ensures they do not fall into a deeper state of hypothermia. Engaging with them can stimulate their body and may encourage them to take deeper breaths, which can aid in warming their body. It is also important to control the environment, making sure they are insulated from cold air or water exposure. Keeping the individual semi-conscious helps medical responders gauge their condition and determine the appropriate level of medical intervention needed. Encouraging exercise, which involves physical activity, can actually lead to further heat loss in a hypothermic person rather than helping them regain body warmth. Leaving someone alone during a hypothermic episode can be extremely dangerous, as they may not have the ability to help themselves, and monitoring is required. Additionally, giving a hypothermic victim cold water could exacerbate their condition, as rehydration should be done with warm fluids if possible.
