ANS: C
Clinical manifestations of shock will include a low blood pressure and tachycardia. Tachycardia, not bradycardia, will occur. Severe respiratory distress, jugular vein distention, and chest pain are symptoms of heart failure, particularly pulmonary edema. Cardiac output is reduced, but there is a decrease in systemic vascular resistance.
