Question

Which of the following may cause a patient to exhibit abnormal behavior? Option 1: Gastroenteritis Option 2: Allergic reaction Option 3: Hypoxia Option 4: Snakebites

Answer 1

Option 3: Hypoxia

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypoxia is an absence of enough oxygen in the tissues to sustain bodily functions. Early signs of hypoxia are anxiety, confusion, and restlessness; if hypoxia is not corrected, hypotension will develop. As hypoxia worsens, the patient's vital signs, activity tolerance, and level of consciousness will decrease.
