Which of the following best describes the primary consequence of anaerobic metabolism in
shock?
A) Increased ATP production
B) Increased oxygen consumption
C) Lactic acid accumulation
D) Enhanced cellular function


C) Lactic acid accumulation

What is the major cause of metabolic acidosis in shock?
A) Hypoventilation
B) Excessive bicarbonate production
C) Lactic acid accumulation
D) Hyperkalemia


C) Lactic acid accumulation


Rationale: Inadequate oxygen delivery forces cells into anaerobic metabolism, leading to
lactic acid accumulation and metabolic acidosis.
