Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in the compensatory stage of shock. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Heart rate 160/min. In the compensatory stage of shock, the body attempts to maintain perfusion by increasing heart rate. This is a compensatory mechanism to ensure vital organs receive adequate blood flow. A heart rate of 160/min indicates the body's attempt to maintain cardiac output.
Choices B and C are incorrect as hypokalemia and mottled skin are not specific to the compensatory stage of shock.
Choice D is incorrect because a blood pressure of 115/68 mmHg is within normal range and may not necessarily indicate compensatory shock.
