Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comfort measures to maintain normal body temperature and reduce pain and anxiety will decrease oxygen demand, as the body is not actively working to compensate for changes in temperature and is less stressed, allowing oxygen to be used for other processes. Neither decreased nor increased fluid volume is directly related to comfort measures for shock.
