70% to passWhich of the following conditions is a symptom of a person in shock?
ACold and damp
BWarm and dry
CCold and dry
DWarm and damp
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Cold and damp. A person in shock typically experiences vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the skin and causes the skin to feel cold and clammy or damp. This is due to the body's attempt to preserve blood flow to the vital organs during a shock response. The other options are incorrect because B) warm and dry would not be a symptom of shock, C) cold and dry does not reflect the damp skin associated with shock, and D) warm and damp is not a common presentation of shock.
