Your friend, who is a paramedic, is describing an emergency call he was on last weekend. He tells you that he cared for a 78-year-old woman who had slipped while getting out of her bathtub and had been lying on a tile floor for almost 24 hours. When your friend arrived he found the woman confused and cold to the touch. Although it was 80 degrees outside, the temperature in the apartment was only

68 because she had her air conditioner running on high. Based on your OEC training, you recognize that this patient was probably suffering from: a. hypothermia caused by a medical condition. b. generalized hyperthermia caused by evaporation. c. hypothermia due to heat loss caused by conduction. d. localized hypothermia caused by immobility.
