Your patient cannot walk and is breathing 16 times per minute. you should next assess capillary refill time.

Capillary refill is a measure of the time it takes for a distal capillary bed to regain color after pressure has been applied to cause blanching. For a healthy individual,  a normal capillary refill only takes a few seconds. A new born baby takes two seconds while an adult takes 3 seconds.

The patient not being able to walk and breathing 16 times a minute indicates the person is breathing too rapidly and it might mean the patient is about to go in shock.

Thus capillary refill time assesses peripheral perfusion in patient at risk for shock since sudden blood flow decrease can be checked by healthcare providers. Thus, if capillaries in your finger are too slow to refill emergency treatments can save your life.
