bilaterally after your initial intervention what next step is most appropriate?

You are caring for a 12 year old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She is
responsive but she does not feel well and appears to be flushed. Her Temp is 39
degrees C (102.2 F), HR is 118/min, respiratory rate is 36/min, BP is 100/40
mmHg, and oxygen sat is 96% on room air. Your assessment reveals mild increase
in work of breathing and bounding pulses. The child is receiving 100% Oxygen by
NRB mask.--- Laberatory studies document a lactic acidosis. On the basis of the
patients clinical assessment and history. Which type of shock does this patient
most likely have?
ANS: Distributive Septic Shock
