A patient, admitted with transport shock, would be most likely to have which of the following medical diagnoses?
1. sepsis
2. cardiac tamponade
3. carbon monoxide poisoning
4. cardiomyopathy
3
Rationale: When inhaled, carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin and prevents the transport of oxygen to the tissues, causing a state of transport shock. Sepsis may lead to a hypovolemic shock state. Cardiac tamponade may lead to an obstructive shock state, and cardiomyopathy may lead to a cardiogenic shock state.
