. A patient with active gastrointestinal bleeding is being monitored for complications. Which of the following signs indicates the patient is developing hypovolemic shock?
Elevated blood pressure
warm, flushed skin
Increased urine output
Increased heart rate
The Correct Answer is D
A. Elevated blood pressure. Blood pressure typically drops in hypovolemic shock as blood volume decreases.
B. Warm, flushed skin. As hypovolemic shock progresses, skin becomes cool and clammy due to decreased blood flow and compensatory vasoconstriction.
C. Increased urine output. Hypovolemic shock leads to decreased urine output due to reduced renal perfusion.
D. Increased heart rate. An increased heart rate is an early compensatory response in hypovolemic shock as the body attempts to maintain cardiac output.

C. Purple striations. Purple or reddish striae on the abdomen and other areas are commonly seen in Cushing's syndrome due to skin thinning and collagen breakdown.
