Answer:

C)Obstructive shock

Explanation:

Obstructive shock is type of shock in which there is a physical obstruction of blood vessels or the obstruction of the heart. It can result from the inability to produce sufficient cardiac output, irrespective of the normal  functioning of the myocardium and intravascular volume. In other words, obstructive shock occurs when blood is not able to go where it is required to go.

One treatment used in treating this type of shock is to give the patient a sufficient amount of intravenous fluids and also drugs that will increase blood pressure to allow the flow of blood to oterparts of the body.

An example of obstructive shock is pulmonary embolism.

Therefore the client described above is at a risk of experiencing obstructive shock.

What would happen if the concentration gradient were eliminated between a cell and its environment?
Anna007 [38]

The difference between the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient. This concentration gradient between a cell and its environment shows a difference resulting in the simplest form of transport called the passive transport. It is the movement of substances from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration along with the concentration gradient across a semi permeable membrane.

Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration. All these processes are involved in various metabolic activities of the cell. Some of the examples are the movement of water molecules, nutrients, elimination of waste substances, exchange of gases and important life processes like digestion, respiration, excretion, transmission of nerve impulses and others depend on different types of passive transport. On elimination of concentration gradient between a cell and its environment, all the metabolic activities of the cell are inhibited and the cell dies.
