What is the MOST noticeable clinical finding that is an early indication injury during an occurrence of minor blood loss that resolves on its own?
A. Drastic increase in the loss of red blood cells evidenced by a drop in the pulse oximeter reading.
B. Usually no clinical finding beyond mild tachycardia.
C. Increased venous capacitance evidenced by jugular venous distention.
D. Decreased vascular resistance evidenced by jugular venous distention.
Answer: B. Usually no clinical finding beyond mild tachycardia.
There are typically no noticeable clinical findings with serf-resolving minor blood loss. Reduced venous capacitance, increased vascular resistance and increased heart rate normally compensate for small blood losses. without further blood loss, the body reconstitutes the loss from interstitial fluid and replaces lost red blood cells gradually without noticeable ill effects.
