The patient is experiencing cardiogenic shock.Explain the treatment for suppressed cardiac output, suppressed cardiac index, and altered systemic vascular resistance.Recommend possible environmental and nutritional interventions for treating the patient.Recognize that the patient received emergent stenting and still requires bypass graphing once stabilized.Support your summary and recommendations plan with a minimum of two APRN-approved scholarly resources.
