Answer: B) elevating his lower extremities.

Explanation:

Shock is the response of the body towards the sudden drop in the blood pressure inside the blood vessels. The body responds to the shock by showing constriction of the blood vessels in the extremities such as feet and hand. This phenomena is called as vasoconstriction, this process conserve the blood flow to the vital organs of the body so that the vital signs may remain active.

Elevating the lower extremities can be useful to judge the constriction of blood vessels in them especially in feet. Thus this can be indicative of shock.

When insulin is administered in excess, blood glucose level ______________, producing early signs of hypoglycemia, which, if lef
Crank

When insulin is administered in excess, blood glucose level decreases producing early signs of hypoglycemia, which, if left untreated, results in a dangerous state called insulin shock.

<h3>What is Insulin Shock?</h3>
  • Low blood sugar, often known as hypoglycemia, is frequently referred to as "insulin shock."
  • It may also be known as an insulin response. Although the precise blood sugar level that causes symptoms varies, it is typically less than 70 mg/dL.
  • The body releases the hormone epinephrine, often known as adrenaline, in response to a low blood sugar level.
  • The body goes into insulin shock when it is so depleted of fuel that it starts to malfunction.
  • If one has diabetes and uses insulin to help control the blood sugar, if he/she injects too much insulin or skip a meal after injecting insulin, then he/she may end up with excess quantities in the blood.
