If someone is experiencing symptoms of heatstroke (e.g., high body temperature, confusion, hot/dry skin), what is the immediate priority in first aid?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
Heatstroke is a medical emergency where the body's cooling system fails. The immediate priority is to rapidly lower the person's body temperature by moving them to a cooler place, applying cool, wet cloths, fanning them, or immersing them in cool water, while also calling for emergency medical help.
