Inadequate tissue perfusion. Correct. Explanation: The nurse must assess the patient for signs and symptoms of inadequate tissue perfusion, such as a weak or absent pulse, cold or cyanotic extremities, or mottling of the skin. Although the nurse does assess blood sugar and mental status, tissue perfusion is the higher priority.
However, when this system is not operating properly due to illness or injury, the body becomes distressed because it is not receiving enough oxygen. It then shunts the blood to the core of the body where the vital organs are located. Many of the early signs of poor perfusion are exhibited through the skin. It is important to find the cause of the poor perfusion because as the organs are deprived of oxygen they will begin to shut down, resulting in death.
