70% to passWhat should you do for a crew member who has suffered frostbite to the toes of both feet?
A
immerse the feet in warm water
B
warm the feet with a heat lamp
C
warm the feet at room temperature
D
rub the feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) immerse the feet in warm water. Immersing the affected area in warm water is the recommended first aid treatment for frostbite. This helps slowly rewarm the tissue without causing further damage. Warming the feet too quickly with a heat lamp or rubbing them can cause additional injury. Allowing the feet to warm at room temperature is also not an effective treatment for frostbite. Prompt, controlled rewarming in warm water is critical to minimize tissue damage and promote healing for a frostbite injury.
