Accepted Answer

Systolic blood pressure over 190 mm Hg is not a symptom of shock. In fact, in most cases, shock is characterized by low blood pressure. The other options, including increased levels of aldosterone, rapid heart rate, cool pale skin, and increased sweating, are all common symptoms of shock.
