Question

Shock is a systemic state of:

• A. Low tissue perfusion
• B. High tissue perfusion
• C. Normal tissue perfusion
• D. Very high tissue perfusion

Hint:

Shock = low perfusion → low oxygen → cellular dysfunction → emergency intervention needed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Shock is defined as a life-threatening condition in which there is inadequate tissue perfusion.
This means the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues is insufficient to meet cellular metabolic demands.
The result is cellular hypoxia, organ dysfunction, and if untreated, it may lead to organ failure and death.
So, shock is always associated with low tissue perfusion, not high or normal.
Therefore, the correct answer is low tissue perfusion.
