All of the following are signs or symptoms of shock except one. Which of the following is not a typical sign or symptom of shock?

Restlessness or combativeness
Increased breathing rate
Decreased pulse rate
Skin becoming pale and sweating occurs
Respirations becoming shallow

Explanation

Answer: C - All of the choices above are signs or symptoms of shock except heart rate actually tends to increase as a result of shock, not decrease. Keep in mind that if a patient might be in shock, if they are left untreated for shock, they are ultimately at risk of dying. Shock is typically related to insufficient oxygenated blood circulation.
