Feedback:
Coffee ground vomitus indicates blood in the vomitus and is a sign of a hemorrhagic complication. Hemorrhage is associated with tachycardia or a rapid pulse rate, not bradycardia. A hard and tender abdomen is a sign of abdominal perforation and not of hemorrhage. Hemorrhage leads to a drop in the blood pressure and not an increase in blood pressure.
