A 31-year-old patient is thrown from a motorcycle into a guardrail. The patient is alert, cannot move the legs, and reports no feeling below the level of the nipples. There is an open lower leg fracture with bleeding that direct pressure has controlled. The vital signs are BP 82/56 mmHg, P 58/min, R 18/min, and SpO₂ 97% on room air. Which findings would support a differential diagnosis of neurogenic shock rather than hypovolemic shock from the fracture? Select the two answer options that are correct.
