What is the recommended way to treat hypothermia?

Apply direct heat to the arms and legs
Give the victim a hot alcoholic drink
Remove wet clothing and rewarm the victim slowly
Encourage vigorous exercise to generate heat

The correct answer is: Remove wet clothing and rewarm the victim slowly

Treating hypothermia involves slowly and gently rewarming the individual. Removing wet clothing and replacing it with dry, warm clothing is crucial in preventing further heat loss. Direct heat to the arms and legs or encouraging vigorous exercise can actually be harmful and may lead to complications such as tissue damage. Additionally, giving the victim a hot alcoholic drink is not recommended, as alcohol can actually cause the body to lose heat more rapidly. Therefore, the correct answer is to remove wet clothing and rewarm the victim slowly.
