Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increased heart rate. In hypovolemic shock, the body tries to compensate for decreased blood volume by increasing heart rate to maintain adequate circulation. This is a result of the body's attempt to deliver oxygen and nutrients to vital organs despite the reduced blood volume. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Widening pulse pressure is not typically seen in hypovolemic shock; B: Pulse oximetry of 96% indicates adequate oxygen saturation, not a specific indicator of hypovolemic shock; C: Increased deep tendon reflexes are not typically associated with hypovolemic shock.
