In addition to leaving Cole in the position found, what other care should Benjamin provide while waiting for EMS?

Maintaining Cole's body temperature is essential for several reasons. When a person is in distress, such as during a medical emergency, their body may react in ways that can lead to hypothermia or overheating, depending on the circumstances. Keeping Cole warm can help prevent further complications and stabilize his condition while waiting for emergency medical services (EMS) to arrive.

If Cole is unconscious or in a critical condition, a decrease in body temperature can negatively affect his vital signs and overall prognosis. By covering him with a blanket or similar clothing, Benjamin can help maintain Coleman’s body temperature, thus providing supportive care until more advanced medical personnel can take over.

Other considerations, such as hydration or administering medication like aspirin, are typically not appropriate in these situations, particularly when the person's condition may warrant advanced care. It is also critical to avoid performing chest compressions unless there is no pulse, as this may not be indicated if Cole's heart is still beating. Thus, maintaining body temperature is a vital part of providing care in such scenarios.
