While irritability and tachypnea are early signs, hypotension indicates progression to decompensated shock. C. Capillary refill time > 2 sec may occur in shock, but bradycardia is a late and ominous sign in pediatrics. D. Irritability, tachycardia, and poor peripheral perfusion (e.g., delayed capillary refill, cool extremities) are hallmark signs of compensated shock, where the body is still maintaining blood pressure.
