Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excessive urination is not likely to occur in cardiogenic shock because the decreased cardiac output leads to decreased perfusion to the kidneys, resulting in decreased urine output or even anuria. A, C, and D are all possible findings in cardiogenic shock. Pulmonary edema occurs due to the buildup of fluid in the lungs, which can happen as a result of cardiogenic shock. Arrhythmias are common in cardiogenic shock due to the damage to the heart muscle, and jugular vein distention can occur due to the increased pressure in the right side of the heart.
