15. How should a patient suffering from heat exhaustion be treated?

Moving a patient with heat exhaustion to a cool room and having them lie down is the correct treatment, as it lowers body temperature and improves blood flow without additional physical stress. Heat exhaustion requires rest and cooling; physical activity, stimulants, or premature return to work can worsen the condition and risk heat stroke. Options that involve continued exertion, inadequate rest, or stimulants are contraindicated.
