assessment findings indicate that the patient' body is
, compensating for the fluid loss? - <<<Answers>>>Prolonged

Remediation feedback:
In the early compensated phase of shock attributed to fluid
volume loss, the diastolic pressure will increase due to
vasoconstriction (increasing systemic vascular resistance) as a
compensatory mechanism causing a narrowed pulse pressure.
A normal systolic pressure is maintained during this phase.
Other manifestations of early shock states are tachycardia,
normal capillary refill, decreased urine output, mild
irritability, tachypnea, and weak peripheral pulses.
Remediation feedback:
Children can present with new onset diabetes in diabetic
ketoacidosis. Manifestations include signs of dehydration (
dry mucous membranes, hypotension, tachycardia),
incontinence (polyuria), vomiting, abdominal pain, Kussmaul
respirations (to counter the acidosis), polydipsia, anorexia,
and weight loss. Expected laboratory values would reveal an
acidotic state with a pH level below 7.3, an elevated seru
