Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a client experiencing obstructive shock. Which of the following diagnoses should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cardiac tamponade is the correct answer because it directly causes obstructive shock by compressing the heart and impairing its ability to fill, leading to decreased cardiac output. Third spacing contributes to hypovolemic shock, not obstructive shock. Cardiomyopathy is associated with heart failure, not obstructive shock. A ruptured aneurysm causes hypovolemic shock due to blood loss.
