You are treating a patient in shock. Explain the physiologic/pathophysiologic reason you see each of the following signs and symptoms. The answers do not have to be long but must
adequately and accurately describe the mechanism that causes each sign to appear.

Pale, cold skin and high breathing rate.

Explanation:

Pale, cold skin is the first sign of shock and the reason behind this pale colour is the decrease in the blood flow. Pale skin results from a decrease in blood flow to the body due to shock. It may also occurs from a reduction in the number of red blood cells which is also called anemia. The rapid breathing is also occurs due to shock because the body needs oxygen in large amount to restore the normal conditions of the body.
