Question

If a person is losing blood continuously due to injury then what will be the effect on his pulse and BP initially?

• A. Pulse will fall and BP will rise
• B. Pulse and BP both will fall
• C. Pulse will rise and BP will fall
• D. Both pulse and BP will rise

Answer 1

The correct option is C Pulse will rise and BP will fall

If a person is losing blood continuously due to injury then his pulse will rise and BP will fall. Because due to decreased blood volume the pressure exerted by blood on vessel wall will decrease which leads to decrease in BP. Due to decreased BP heart will try to push blood more rapidly which will cause rise in pulse.
