Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: 50-60 percent is incorrect because the mortality rate is 70-80 percent.
Rationale 2: Cardiogenic shock occurs in 7-10 percent of the clients who suffer an acute MI and is the leading cause of death in hospitalized clients with acute MI, with a mortality rate of 70-80 percent.
Rationale 3: 40-50 percent is incorrect because the mortality rate is 70-80 percent.
Rationale 4: 20-30 percent is incorrect because the mortality rate is 70-80 percent.

Global Rationale: Cardiogenic shock occurs in 710 percent of the clients who suffer an acute MI and is the leading cause of death in hospitalized clients with acute MI, with a mortality rate of 7080 percent.
