4. Which cardiovascular change occurs in a patient with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)? 1 Warm skin 2 Bradycardia 3 Low cardiac output 4 Increased systemic venous return

Correct1 Warm skin A patient with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) becomes warm because the patient's skin is being perfused, whereas other areas may have blood shunted away from them. The patient is tachycardic, not bradycardic, because of the release of chronotropic factors, which increase the heart rate. The increase in heart rate, along with an increase in the force of contractions of the heart, causes an increase rather than a decrease in the cardiac output. Because there is massive vasodilation, the systemic venous return of the patient is decreased, not increased.
