Feedback
1. This is not a symptom of decreased pulmonary blood flow.
2. This is more a symptom of congestive heart failure.
3. Tachypnea and diaphoresis are correct, but bradycardia, or slow heart rate, is not a symptom of decreased pulmonary blood flow.
4. Cyanosis and tachypnea are symptoms of decreased pulmonary blood flow, which decreases the body's ability to oxygenate the blood. Polycythemia occurs due to a chronic decrease in oxygenation. The body attempts to produce more red blood cells to carry additional oxygen.
