Question 1 of 5

A 45-year-old patient presents to the trauma unit after a gunshot wound (GSW) to the abdomen. The patient has a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit, is restless and confused, and has large amount of blood noted from the nasogastric (NG) tube as well as from the indwelling urinary catheter. Which additional assessment finding likely causes death within the first 24 hours following this injury?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A pH of 7.21 indicates severe acidosis, likely from hypoperfusion and shock due to massive blood loss, a leading cause of death in abdominal trauma. Tachycardia is compensatory, hyperkalemia is concerning but less immediate, and platelets are normal.
