A young male patient who was angry with friends wandered away from a party and spent the night outside uncovered in 40-50°F temperatures. He is confused, has decreased but adequate breathing, and has a weak radial pulse. His skin is cool and capillary refill delayed. You note that he is not shivering. Based on this presentation, what can you safely conclude?

A) The patient is exhibiting signs that he is compensating and conserving heat
B) The patient's body temperature is most likely dangerously low
C) The absence of shivering indicates the body temperature is almost back to normal
D) The cause of his confusion is related to alcohol and not the overnight temperatures

B) The patient's body temperature is most likely dangerously low
