Question 1574 Deck Safety
70% to passWhen a person is in shock, how will their skin appear?
A
cold and damp
B
cold and dry
C
warm and dry
D
warm and damp
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) cold and damp. When a person is in shock, their body goes into a state of decreased blood flow and circulation. This causes the skin to appear cold and clammy or damp, as the body attempts to preserve blood flow to the vital organs. The skin may also appear pale or ashen in color. The other options are incorrect because warm and dry skin is not a typical symptom of shock, and warm and damp skin is more indicative of other medical conditions, not shock.
