Tachycardia, or a rapid heart rate, is a common early sign of hypovolemic shock as the body tries to compensate for the decreased blood volume by increasing the heart rate.

Choice B rationale:

Diminished urine output is a sign of hypovolemic shock, but it is not typically an early sign.

Choice C rationale:

Cold, clammy skin is a sign of hypovolemic shock, but it is not typically an early sign.

Choice D rationale:

Unconsciousness is a late sign of hypovolemic shock, indicating severe blood loss and inadequate perfusion to the brain.

A. A client who is short of breath. B. A client who received pain medication 30 min ago. C. A client who is to be discharged at 11:00. D. A client who is ambulatory and going for an x-ray at 10:00.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A client who is short of breath is experiencing a life-threatening situation and should be seen first.

A client who received pain medication 30 min ago is likely to be comfortable and can be seen later.

Choice C rationale:

A client who is to be discharged at 11:00 can be seen closer to the discharge time.

A client who is ambulatory and going for an x-ray at 10:00 can be seen after the x-ray.
