Question

the client is experiencing septic shock. what assessment finding would the nurse expect to find? capillary refill greater than 2 seconds warm extremities normal temperature blood pressure 128/76

Explanation:

In septic shock, there is poor perfusion. Capillary refill greater than 2 seconds indicates poor peripheral perfusion. Warm extremities are not typical as there is usually decreased blood - flow. Septic shock often causes fever or hypothermia, not normal temperature. Blood pressure is usually low in septic shock, not 128/76 which is a normal - range blood pressure.

Answer:

A. Capillary refill greater than 2 seconds
