Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 28RQ
Bob is sitting outside on a warm day and is sweating profusely. Mary wants to practice taking blood pressures, and he agrees to play the patient. Mary finds that Bob’s blood pressure is elevated, even though he is resting and has lost fluid from sweating, (She reasons that fluid loss should lower blood volume and, thus, blood pressure.) Why is Bob’s blood pressure high instead of low?

Bob is sitting outside on a warm day and is sweating profusely. His friend Mary wants to practice taking blood pressures, and he agrees to play patient. Mary finds that Bob’s blood pressure is elevated, even though he is resting and has lost fluid from sweating. (She reasons that fluid loss should lower blood volume and, thus, blood pressure.) Mary asks you why Bob’s blood pressure is high instead of low. What should you tell her?
True or false: blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood pushing against the wall of the blood vessels?
Your neighbor, Bob, calls you because he thinks he is having an allergic reaction to a medication. You find Bob on the verge of losing consciousness and having trouble breathing. When paramedics arrive, they note his blood pressure is 63/38 and he has a rapid, thready pulse. Explain Bob’s low blood pressure and rapid heart rate.
