Which assessment finding is expected for a patient who was just chased by an attacker?
Blood glucose 45 mg/dL
Hyperactive bowel sounds
HR 55/bpm
ВР 180/94
The Correct Answer is D
A. Blood glucose 45 mg/dL
Glucose would typically rise due to stress hormones (epinephrine, cortisol), not drop.
B. Hyperactive bowel sounds
Sympathetic (fight-or-flight) response suppresses GI activity, not stimulates it.
C. HR 55 bpm
A slow heart rate is not expected. The HR should increase.
D. BP 180/94
The sympathetic response leads to increased BP, HR, and blood glucose.
