A nurse is caring for a client with acute cholecystitis. Which assessment finding requires the most immediate nursing intervention?
A 40-year-old client presents to the emergency department with severe right upper quadrant pain that began 6 hours ago after eating a fatty meal. The client reports nausea, vomiting, and pain radiating to the right shoulder blade.

Hypotension with tachycardia and cool, clammy skin indicates shock, a life-threatening complication requiring immediate intervention. Other findings (fever, clay-colored stools, Murphy's sign) are less urgent.
