Rosinka: scenario is a postop (GI) bleed
I dunno. I like the A explanation because the I&O would be a delayed finding even though the urinary output would be a prompt effect. Unless it was a SLOOOOW bleed?

Internal bleed, which shows first?
A: restlessness and increased HR
or
B: apathy and decreased urinary output
I'm thinking they want B (apathy would come before restlessness) but I honestly think that it's a bad question because increased HR would show before or concurrently decreased urinary output. Thoughts?
(this is an example question so I don't have the right answer or a rationale, but it got me wondering!)
