How should you treat someone with an elevated core body temperature above 37 degrees Celsius due to heat?

Wrap them in warm clothes
Give them a hot drink
Have them rest in a cool area
Increase their physical activity

The correct answer is: Have them rest in a cool area

When someone's core body temperature is elevated above 37 degrees Celsius due to heat, their body is already working hard to cool itself down. This can be dangerous and can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Wrapping them in warm clothes or giving them a hot drink would only make their body temperature rise even more. Increasing their physical activity would also raise their body temperature. The best course of action is to have them rest in a cool area, allowing their body to cool down naturally. This may include moving them into shade, using a fan, or applying cool compresses to their forehead, neck, and armpits.
