Her mucous membranes are dry and cracked. Her skin is warm and dry with tenting. Her temperature is 38.2C and her heart rate is 115. Her blood pressure is 92/60. Upon further questioning Ms. S reports that she became ill after eating a spinach salad and delayed going to the ED until her son insisted that she go.
