A nurse explains to a family member the pathophysiology of distributive shock, which is:
1.   the intravascular compartment fills beyond capacity, allowing fluid to leak out, compressing vital organs.
2.   the circulating volume causes excessive constriction of the vessels, causing blood pooling.
3.   widely fluctuating blood pressures stimulate vascular collapse, causing severe alterations in peripheral perfusion.
4.   although the circulating volume is intact, excessive vascular dilation causes drastic drops in blood pressure.
