Ans:
C

Feedback:

Maintenance of vascular volume is the primary goal in the treatment of hypovolemic shock and can be achieved in the short term through intravenous administration of saline or Ringer lactate. Resolution of pulmonary edema and heart arrhythmias and infusion of vasodilators are associated with treatment of cardiogenic shock, while oxygen and epinephrine would address anaphylactic shock.
