Your patient is in shock, but the body's defense mechanisms are currently able to maintain adequate circulation. This is called ___________.
  • check her airway for obstructions.
  • cardiogenic shock
  • cardiogenic shock.
  • compensated shock
A 20-year-old male has a large laceration to his wrist. He is holding a blood-soaked towel over the wound, but it continues to bleed rapidly. You should:
  • apply a tourniquet proximal to the wrist.
  • cardiogenic hypo perfusion.
  • Rapid transport to a trauma center
  • repeat the epinephrine injection after consulting with medical control.
Which of the following statements regarding anaphylactic shock is correct?
  • widespread dilation of the blood vessels causes blood to pool in the vascular beds.
  • Bacterial damage to the vessel wall, leaking blood vessels, and vasodilation
  • Cardiac tamponade
  • Subsequent exposure after sensitization often produces a more severe reaction.
Clinical signs of compensated shock include all of the following, EXCEPT:
  • absent peripheral pulses.
  • blood pressure may be the last measurable factor to change in shock.
  • Cardiac tamponade
  • check her airway for obstructions.
Which of the following injuries would MOST likely cause obstructive shock?
  • cardiogenic shock
  • Subsequent exposure after sensitization often produces a more severe reaction.
  • Cardiac tamponade
  • Bacterial damage to the vessel wall, leaking blood vessels, and vasodilation
Shock due to severe infection is called ________.
  • septic shock
  • cardiogenic shock.
  • cardiogenic shock
  • Cardiac tamponade
Distributive shock occurs when:
  • Subsequent exposure after sensitization often produces a more severe reaction.
  • widespread dilation of the blood vessels causes blood to pool in the vascular beds.
  • blood pressure may be the last measurable factor to change in shock.
  • Bacterial damage to the vessel wall, leaking blood vessels, and vasodilation
Pulmonary edema and impaired ventilation occur during:
  • cardiogenic shock
  • cardiogenic shock.
  • cardiogenic hypo perfusion.
  • Cardiac tamponade
Your assessment of an unresponsive patient reveals that her breathing is inadequate. Your MOST immediate action should be to:
  • cardiogenic shock
  • check her airway for obstructions.
  • apply direct pressure to the wound.
  • compensated shock
When treating an 80-year-old patient who is in shock, it is important to remember that:
  • determine if she was injured when she fainted.
  • blood pressure may be the last measurable factor to change in shock.
  • changes in gastric motility may delay gastric emptying, which increases the risk for vomiting.
  • reassess his condition in 5 minutes.
Neurogenic shock occurs when:
  • blood pressure may be the last measurable factor to change in shock.
  • widespread dilation of the blood vessels causes blood to pool in the vascular beds.
  • failure of the nervous system causes widespread vasodilation.
  • Bacterial damage to the vessel wall, leaking blood vessels, and vasodilation
A 25-year-old unrestrained female struck the steering wheel with her chest when her car hit a tree while traveling at a high rate of speed. She has signs and symptoms of shock, which you suspect are the result of intrathoracic bleeding. Which of the following interventions will provide this patient with the greatest chance for survival?
  • cardiogenic hypo perfusion.
  • apply a tourniquet proximal to the wrist.
  • repeat the epinephrine injection after consulting with medical control.
  • Rapid transport to a trauma center
A 19-year-old male was stung multiple times by fire ants. He is experiencing obvious signs and symptoms of anaphylactic shock. You administer high-flow oxygen and give him epinephrine via intramuscular injection. Upon reassessment, you determine that his condition has not improved. You should:
  • Rapid transport to a trauma center
  • apply a tourniquet proximal to the wrist.
  • repeat the epinephrine injection after consulting with medical control.
  • cardiogenic hypo perfusion.
You respond to a residence for a patient with a severe leg injury following an accident with a chainsaw. When you arrive, you find the patient, a 44-year-old male, lying supine in the backyard. He has a partial amputation of his right lower leg that is actively bleeding. The patient is conscious and breathing adequately; however, he is restless and his skin is diaphoretic. You should:
  • apply direct pressure to the wound.
  • apply a tourniquet proximal to the wrist.
  • check her airway for obstructions.
  • Rapid transport to a trauma center
You are dispatched to a residence for a 40-year-old female who fainted. Upon your arrival, the patient is conscious and alert, and states that she is fine. Her husband tells you that she fainted after receiving news that her sister was killed in a car crash. You offer oxygen to the patient, but she refuses to accept it. At this point, your primary concern should be to:
  • determine if she was injured when she fainted.
  • reassess his condition in 5 minutes.
  • changes in gastric motility may delay gastric emptying, which increases the risk for vomiting.
  • apply direct pressure to the wound.
