Active rewarming involves which method?

• A. External Heat Sources Applied
• B. External Heat From Environment
• C. Continued Cooling During Rewarming
• D. Muscle Spasms From Dehydration

Answer: (A)

Active rewarming means adding heat to the body from outside to raise temperature. This involves external heat sources applied to the patient—like warming blankets, forced-air warming devices, or warmed IV fluids. It’s about actively delivering energy to the body rather than waiting for the environment to provide warmth. In contrast, relying on the surrounding environment is passive rewarming, continuing cooling during rewarming is opposite to the goal, and dehydration-related muscle spasks are unrelated to the warming approach.
