When the body has deficiencies in water and sodium and this combines to cause electrolyte volume and vasomotor regulatory disturbances, what conditions will an individual suffer?
  1. Heat loss
  2. Heat exhaustion
  3. “The bends”
  4. Heat stroke
Explanation
Answer - B - When the body has deficiencies in water and sodium and it combines to cause electrolyte volume and vasomotor regulatory disturbances, an individual suffers heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion results from excessive water and salt losses due to sweating. Heat stroke occurs when the body’s hypothalamic temperature regulation is lost, causing uncompensated hyperthermia, which, in turn, causes cell death and physiologic collapse.
