Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because pulmonary congestion and dyspnea are characteristics of cardiogenic shock,the nurse should assess the breath sounds frequently. The head of the bed is usually elevated to decrease dyspnea in patients with cardiogenic shock. Elevated temperature and flushing or itching of the skin are not typical of cardiogenic shock.
