Hypothermia is defined as body temperature less than:

Hypothermia is defined as body temperature less than:

• A. 89ºF (32ºC)
• B. 95ºF (35ºC)
• C. 91ºF (33ºC)
• D. 93ºF (34ºC)

Answer: (B)

Hypothermia is defined by a core body temperature falling below a standard benchmark used in medical and emergency settings. That threshold is 95°F, which is 35°C. Below this point, the body's heat production can no longer keep up with heat loss, marking the onset of hypothermia. In practice, mild hypothermia generally ranges from about 32–35°C (89–95°F), with colder temperatures indicating more severe hypothermia. The other temperatures listed are all below normal, but 95°F is the defining cutoff for the condition.
