A)Clients who take beta blockers may not present with tachycardia as an early indicator of shock. These individuals will require early invasive monitoring to avoid excessive or inadequate volume restoration. Replacement of volume would occur after invasive cardiac monitoring is established. Pain would be a consideration but would not be attended to as a first priority. Assessing the cause of bleeding would also occur after establishing invasive cardiac monitoring.
