Answer to Question 1

D
Shock, a condition of profound hemodynamic and metabolic disturbance characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion and inadequate circulation to the vital organs, must be recognized and immediately treated. Hypovolemic shock is easily recognizable when bleeding is external but more difficult when the bleeding is internal. The primary treatment for a client who is in hypovolemic shock is fluid replacement.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
