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. This is likely because the client has a recent infection, which can lead to sepsis and subsequent septic shock. In septic shock, the body's response to infection causes widespread inflammation, leading to a drop in blood pressure and organ dysfunction. Cardiogenic shock (
A) is due to heart failure, neurogenic shock (
B) is caused by spinal cord injury, and hypovolemic shock (
C) is due to severe blood or fluid loss. These conditions do not align with the client's history of infection.
