Yes this is good Debbie. the signs you saw were related to her haemorrhage and drop in blood volume which caused the BP to drop.
Now we need to think about the homeostatic mechanisms related to maintaining BP.. was the tachycardia a compensatory mechanism? why the faintness & pallor, sweatiness.
which part of the nervous system is activated?
You may need to go to your cardiovascular chapter in the textbook to get more detail about control of BP....
