Ans:
C

Feedback:

In contrast to hypovolemic shock, in which the heart rate is faster than normal and the skin is cold and clammy, a person in neurogenic shock is likely to have a slower than normal heart rate and dry, warm skin. Fainting due to emotional causes is a transient form of neurogenic shock, while increased thirst is an early sign of hypovolemic shock.
