Question of the Week – November 10, 2021

Rationale:

1 — Adequate perfusion is dependent on cardiac output; cardiogenic shock diminishes cardiac output, vascular tone, and total circulating blood volume

2 — Adequate perfusion is dependent on cardiac output; an insufficient ejection fraction diminishes cardiac output.

4 — Adequate perfusion is dependent on vascular tone; PVD affects vascular tone. 5 Adequate perfusion is dependent on total circulating blood volume; hemorrhage affects total circulating blood volume.

5 —  Asthma affects respiratory function by diminishing oxygen intake, but asthma does not affect perfusion since it does not directly affect the perfusion of tissues and vital organ
