It's very cold outside and Bill gets into the spa, turning it up to its maximum temperature (106DegF). After several minutes in the water, he faints and would have drowned if a passerby had not saved him.
Which best explains what happened?

  1. His body could not tolerate the shock going from cold to hot.
  2. He suffered a heart attack due to the excess heat.
  3. He fainted from a lack of oxygenated blood to his brain.
  4. He received second-degree burns and went into shock.

Answer(s): C
