Match the correct signs/symptoms with heat stroke:
CNS system is compromised, hot flushed skin, life threatening condition
Usually due to dehydration and loss of electrolytesSkin usually presents with pale, cool, clammy. Body Temp between 101-104
Usually due to dehydration and loss of electrolytes
Sudden collapse due to fatigue and being in the heat
