a. obstructive and distributive shock
b. distributive and cardiogenic shock
c. obstructive and hypovolemic shock
d. obstructive and cardiogenic shock - CORRECT ANSWER-d. obstructive and

Pump failure due to an inadequate function of the heart leads to obstructive and

prevents an adequate volume of blood from filling the chambers of the heart.
The three most common examples of obstructive shock are tension
pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, and cardiac tamponade. Cardiogenic shock
occurs when the pump fails due to disease or injury.
Distributive shock is due to poor vessel function, and hypovolemic shock occurs
with low fluid volume.
