Question 1 of 5

A client presents with shock in the hospital, and has a history of a recent infection. What does the nurse suspect that this client is experiencing?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Septic shock. In a client with a recent infection and shock, septic shock is suspected. This is a type of distributive shock caused by a systemic inflammatory response to infection. The infection triggers a cascade of events leading to vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and ultimately, shock. Cardiogenic shock (
A) is caused by heart failure, Neurogenic shock (
B) by nervous system injury, and Hypovolemic shock (
C) by severe volume loss. In this case, the client's history of infection points more towards sepsis as the cause of shock.
