Which hemodynamic parameters would the nurse expect to see in the patient with septic shock?
1. Central venous pressure (CVP) 4 mm Hg, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 30/15 mm Hg, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) 1,200 dynes/sec/cm-5
2. Central venous pressure (CVP) 8 mm Hg, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 26/10 mm Hg, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) 1,000 dynes/sec/cm-5
3. Central venous pressure (CVP) 2 mm Hg, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 20/8 mm Hg, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) 800 dynes/sec/cm-5
4. Central venous pressure (CVP) 6 mm Hg, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 40/20 mm Hg, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) 700 dynes/sec/cm-5

Rationale 1: These parameters are outside those expected for septic shock.
Rationale 2: These parameters are outside those expected for septic shock.
Rationale 3: Septic shock is a form of distributive shock. Central venous pressure would be low, pulmonary artery pressure would be low, and systemic vascular resistance would be low.
Rationale 4: These parameters are outside those expected for septic shock.
