Answer: B, A, D, C

The pathophysiology of sepsis occurs as follows: Endotoxin released by microorganisms sets off an out-of-control inflammatory process; macrophage-producing cytokines are released; vasodilation with increased capillary permeability and fluid leak; neutrophils arrive and multiply, occluding capillaries.
