The best way to respond to a client with anxiety, loss of muscle coordination and skin that is hot and dry is to place client on a cooling blanket so he can recover soon. Too much exposure to extreme heat will cause the body to loss muscle coordination, make the body hot and dry.

In addition, the cooling blanket will help induce mild hypothermia immediately after successful restoration of spontaneous blood circulation.
