The answer is FALSE: The skin of a heat stroke victim will be hot and dry.

Explanation:

  • Heat stroke is a severe form of heat-related illness that occurs when the body's temperature regulation fails, and the body temperature rises to critical levels.
  • One of the key symptoms of heat stroke is that the skin becomes hot and dry due to the body's inability to sweat and cool down.
  • In contrast, cold and clammy skin is more characteristic of heat exhaustion, which is a less severe condition than heat stroke.
