Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shock is characterized by a decreased blood pressure which leads to decreased delivery of oxygenated blood to the organs. This can cause cool, clammy skin as the body tries to redirect blood flow to the vital organs. In response to decreased blood pressure, the heart may beat faster to try to compensate and maintain blood flow. This results in an increased pulse rate. Finally, decreased oxygen delivery to the brain can cause confusion. All three symptoms are commonly seen in shock.
