    This document contains two multiple choice questions from an NREMT practice test bank. The first question asks which condition would be most suspicious for a patient presenting with hot, flushed skin, significant underlying medical problems, and dry skin. The correct answer is heat stroke. The second question describes a diabetic patient presenting with weakness, sweating, and fast heart rate, and a low blood glucose reading, and asks which treatment medical control would most likely order - giving oral glucose.
