Question 5696

While waiting for help to arrive, should people injured in an accident be kept warm?

  1. No, as a general rule.
  2. Yes, as a general rule, to prevent them from losing body heat.
  3. Yes, but only those considered to be seriously injured.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, as a general rule, to prevent them from losing body heat.

Yes. Cover them with a light blanket or clothing to prevent heat loss, even in summer, and protect them from the sun too. Keeping all injured people warm is the general rule, not just those with serious injuries.
