inadequate perfusion signs and symptoms
Inadequate tissue perfusion. Correct. Explanation: The nurse must assess the patient for signs and symptoms of inadequate tissue perfusion, such as a weak or absent pulse, cold or cyanotic extremities, or mottling of the skin. Although the nurse does assess blood sugar and mental status, tissue perfusion is the higher priority.
Inadequate tissue perfusion (shock) should be recognised early in young children presenting with acute illness. To overcome this problem, the present study used the measurement of subcutaneous tissue perfusion and S[O. Until recently, assessment of tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery has been elusive.
