Actively warming

Answer 12

Heat packs
Warm drinks
Nothing to direct skin or extremities warming to quickly can lead to rewarming shock

Question 13

Answer 13

Vasoconstriction in the extremities due to the cold and build up a metallic acidosis warming too fast, causes a peripheral reflex phase of dilation,
a.k.a. pushing cold, bad blood to the core
