In addition to moving the victim to a shaded area, placing the victim in a prone position and loosening any tight clothing, what treatment should be administered?

Correct Answer: Option A — The patient should be given sips of cool water salted with one teaspoon per glass at a rate of 1/2 glass every 15 minutes for one hour.

Treatment for heat exhaustion requires gradual rehydration to avoid shock. Administering small, frequent sips of cool, lightly salted water (one teaspoon per glass) helps restore electrolyte levels without overwhelming the stomach. This controlled intake rate over an hour is the standard first-aid procedure for stabilizing the victim.
