What should NOT be given to someone suffering from hypothermia?

  1. Warm liquids

  2. Alcohol

  3. Dry shelter

  4. Warm dry objects

The correct answer is: Alcohol

Giving alcohol to someone suffering from hypothermia is not recommended because it can further slow down the body's ability to regulate its temperature and could lead to further complications. Warm liquids, dry shelter, and warm dry objects are all appropriate and helpful in treating hypothermia by providing warmth and helping to restore the body's core temperature.
