In the context of cardiogenic shock managed with vasopressor and inotrope therapies, organ dysfunction from hypoperfusion can manifest as elevated creatinine and abdominal pain. Elevated creatinine indicates renal impairment, a common result of poor perfusion to the kidneys. Abdominal pain can indicate hypoperfusion to the gastrointestinal tract, leading to ischemic bowel or other GI complications. These symptoms are direct indicators of hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction. References: = CCRN Exam Handbook, AACN Adult CCRN Certification Review Course

The patient who has been in the unit for 60 hours and reports agitation, noise disturbances, and an inability to get peace and quiet may be experiencing sleep disturbances. Factors such as the ICU environment, frequent interventions, and the medications being administered (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, and bronchodilators) can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, leading to further agitation and delirium. Addressing the patient's sleep hygiene and implementing measures to promote rest can be beneficial.References: = CCRN Exam Handbook, page 52

Anaphylactic shock is characterized by widespread vasodilation due to the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. This vasodilation causes a significant drop in systemic vascular resistance and maldistribution of blood volume, leading to hypotension. The explanation addresses the pathophysiological changes that occur during anaphylactic shock. References: AACN Adult CCRN Certification Review Course, AACN CCRN Exam Handbook.
