Which of the following is a sign of hypothermia?

Sweating
Hot flushes
Uncontrollable shivering
Increased heart rate

The correct answer is: Uncontrollable shivering

Uncontrollable shivering is a sign of hypothermia because when the body is exposed to cold temperatures, it tries to generate heat by shivering in order to stay warm. Sweating and hot flushes are actually signs of heat exhaustion, which is the opposite of hypothermia. Increased heart rate can occur in both conditions, but specific to hypothermia, it is often accompanied by a weakened or slowed pulse.
