Inadequate cardiac output, related to hypovolemia is the most appropriate patient problem to include in the care plan for a patient in shock. Shock is often caused by inadequate circulating blood volume and subsequent inadequate tissue perfusion, leading to inadequate cardiac output. The other options, excess cardiac output related to hypertension and hypotension, and inadequate cardiac output related to hypertension, are not typically seen in patients in shock.
