A narrowed 16 mmHg with a weak, rapid pulse — serious compromise

Respiratory failure, exhausted and no longer oxygenating

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Respiratory distress, compensating and maintaining oxygenation

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Transport silently without mentioning glucose to the hospital
