Question 1 of 5

A 10-year-old child was admitted with full-thickness burns affecting more than 15% of the child's body surface. What manifestations of hypovolemic shock would you observe for over the next 48 hrs? Select all choices that apply:

Correct Answer: A,B,C

Rationale:
Choice A rationale: Rapid pulse is a common manifestation of hypovolemic shock. When the body experiences a significant loss of fluid, such as in severe burns, the heart rate increases in an attempt to maintain adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to the body's tissues.
Choice B rationale: Decreased blood pressure is another typical sign of hypovolemic shock. As the body loses fluid, the volume of blood circulating through the body decreases. This drop in blood volume leads to a decrease in blood pressure.
Choice C rationale: Pallor, or paleness of the skin, can occur in hypovolemic shock. This happens because the body prioritizes sending blood to vital organs like the heart and brain, which can result in less blood flow to the skin, causing it to appear pale.
Choice D rationale: A flushed face is not typically associated with hypovolemic shock. In fact, the skin may actually appear pale or cool due to reduced blood flow.
