Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches the hypovolemic type of shock, which occurs when the volume of blood in the body is decreased, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in pulse rate. Cool and clammy skin is a common sign.

Answer: D
 Septic shock is a type of shock that occurs when an infection leads to a systemic inflammatory response, causing a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in pulse rate. It can also cause cool and clammy skin.

Answer: J
 Myocardial hypertrophy refers to an enlargement of the heart muscle, often as a result of prolonged high blood pressure or heart disease. This can cause an increase in blood pressure and a decrease in pulse rate, which is not consistent with the description given.

Therefore, the best choices are H and D.
