Factors that affect a person's ability to compensate for internal or external blood loss include all of the following, EXCEPT:

  1. Advanced age

  2. Blood-thinning medications

  3. High cholesterol in the blood

  4. The rate of blood loss

The correct answer is: High cholesterol in the blood

High cholesterol in the blood is not a factor that directly affects a person's ability to compensate for internal or external blood loss. Factors such as advanced age, blood-thinning medications, and the rate of blood loss can all impact the body's ability to maintain adequate perfusion and prevent complications from blood loss. High cholesterol levels, on the other hand, do not have a direct correlation with the body's ability to compensate for blood loss.
