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?
  1. Increased breathing rate
  2. Skin becoming pale and sweating occurs
  3. Hallucination
  4. Respirations becoming shallow
Explanation
Answer: C - All of the choices above are signs or symptoms of shock except for hallucination. A patient in the later stages of shock is more likely to have a reduced level of responsiveness, which is a dire sign. Keep in mind that a patient who might be in shock and who is left untreated for shock is ultimately at risk of dying. Shock is typically related to insufficient oxygenated blood circulation.
