Question

(2.2.c) checking the person: quiz
when blood flow is directed away from the skins surface to increase the blood supply to the vital organs, the skin may -
○ look pale, ashen or bluish and feel cool and moist.
○ look dark or red and feel warm and dry.
○ look flushed and feel hot.
○ look ashen and feel cool and dry.

Explanation:

When blood flow is redirected away from the skin's surface, less oxygen - rich blood is present near the skin. This can cause a pale (due to less red - oxygenated blood), ashen (a grayish - pale color), or bluish (cyanosis due to poor oxygenation) appearance. Also, with less blood flow, there is less heat carried to the skin (so it feels cool) and the body may still have some sweating (so it feels moist).

Answer:

Look pale, ashen or bluish and feel cool and moist.
