The nurse is caring for a patient after a motor vehicle accident. The patient’s vital signs are: blood pressure 70/50 mm Hg, heart rate 50 beats per minute, respiratory rate 11 breaths per minute, temperature 96°F, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) 95% on 3 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula. Hemodynamic values are: cardiac output (CO) 2, central venous pressure (CVP) 1, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) 550. Based on this assessment, what type of shock is the patient likely experiencing, and what treatment should be anticipated?
