Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Distributive shock, particularly in the context of anaphylaxis, is characterized by widespread vasodilation that leads to a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and impaired blood flow to organs despite normal or increased cardiac output.

B. This option is incorrect because distributive shock involves decreased systemic vascular resistance due to vasodilation rather than an increase.

C. This statement describes hypovolemic shock, not distributive shock. Distributive shock is not primarily caused by the loss of blood volume.

D. While loss of myocardial contractility can lead to cardiogenic shock, it is not the mechanism behind distributive shock, which is related to vascular tone rather than heart function.

A. Cyanosis of the lips and tongue B. Weak or absent femoral pulses C. Bounding pulses in the upper extremities D. High blood pressure in the lower extremities E. Poor feeding and irritability

Correct Answer is ["B","C","E"]

Explanation

A. Cyanosis of the lips and tongue is not a typical finding in coarctation of the aorta; rather, it is more associated with cyanotic congenital heart defects.

B. Weak or absent femoral pulses are expected due to reduced blood flow to the lower body, as the coarctation typically occurs distal to the left subclavian artery.

C. Bounding pulses in the upper extremities are common because the blood flow to the upper body is increased, leading to stronger pulses.

D. High blood pressure in the lower extremities is not typical; instead, there is often lower blood pressure in the lower body due to the obstruction.

E. Poor feeding and irritability are common symptoms in infants with heart conditions, as they may be in distress or not getting enough blood flow to meet their metabolic needs.
