What is the difference between cardiogenic shock and hypovolemic shock? Thank you in advance!

Two obvious homework posts in 30 minutes. OP's only two posts and (wait for it) she just joined today.

Nothing there so far that would remotely suggest it's a "shock" state at all. Whatever metric you're using to define shock, what you've given ain't it.

May not even be shock. Mostly normal vitals in an baby, although maybe not the temp. Need more information.

We need more data before we could even begin to answer this question. Why? Depending upon the patient, that could be normal.

Also, this very much looks like a homework question. We won't answer this without seeing what you think and know about the subject.
