Salicylate intoxication is characterized by all of the following, EXCEPT: 
Select and explain. 
A. Hyperventilation, B. Hypoprothrombinemia, C. Hypothermia, D. Metabolic acidosis
C: Hypothermia
Answer: C: Hypothermia 
Explanation: Salicylate intoxication is associated with hypehermia and not hypothermia, as the drug causes uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in increased metabolism. Mild chronic salicylate intoxication is called salicylism. When fully developed, the syndrome includes headache, dizziness, tinnitus, difficulty hearing, dimness of vision, mental confusion, lassitude, drowsiness, sweating, thirst, hyperventilation, nausea, vomiting, and occasionally diarrhea.
