The statement that best indicates the deterioration and decompensatory phase of shock is the restless and confused mental status.

What do you mean by Blunt trauma?

Blunt trauma may be defined as an injury to the body caused by forceful impact, injury, or physical attack with a dull object or surface.

The heart rate between 60-100 beats per minute is considered normal in many cases. While the blood pressure of the injured female is low as compared to the normal, if you have been injured the blood pressure must be high, so looking at the given options, restless and confused mental status seems to be correct.

Therefore, the statement that best indicates the deterioration and decompensatory phase of shock is the restless and confused mental status.
