    This is multiple correct option question options were

    1. Cyanosed skin

    2. Uncontrolled shivering

    3. Cardiac dysrhythmias

    4. Increased blood pressure

    5. Increased respiratory rate

    The answer is options 1, 2, 3

    In this case the patient suffers from hypothermia which is medical term for the condition when body loses heat faster than it can produce in this condition patient shows signs such as uncontrolled shivering and cyanosis; cardiac dysrhythmias may occur in later stages
