Which of the following describes a symptom of heat stroke?

Cool, pale, moist skin
Dizziness and weakness
Red, hot, and dry skin
Uncontrolled shivering

The correct answer is: Red, hot, and dry skin

Heat stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body overheats, often due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or strenuous exercise in hot weather. One of the key symptoms of heat stroke is the appearance of the skin, which can become red, hot, and dry. This is primarily due to the body’s failure to regulate temperature effectively due to the extreme heat, leading to dehydration and an inability to sweat, which can subsequently result in elevated body temperature. The other symptoms mentioned, like cool, pale, moist skin or dizziness and weakness, can be associated with conditions like heat exhaustion rather than heat stroke. Uncontrolled shivering, while a response to cold or shock, does not typically manifest in heat stroke, where the body's regulatory mechanisms are overwhelmed. Recognizing the distinct symptoms of heat-related illnesses is crucial for effective first aid and treatment.
