GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Hypertension is less specific for disseminated intravascular coagulation in sepsis.


Explanation:

Hypertension is less specific for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in sepsis. DIC is characterized by widespread clotting in small blood vessels throughout the body, leading to organ damage. While bleeding from various sites, such as IV sites, lungs, or CNS, is more indicative of DIC due to the consumption of clotting factors, hypertension is not a typical manifestation of this condition.
