TESTED QUESTIONS 2026 100% CORRECT.
⫸ hypovolemic shock cause. Answer: decrease in body fluid
⫸ cardiogenic shock cause. Answer: direct pump failure (ex. MI or
heart failure)
⫸ distributive shock cause. Answer: fluid shift (ex. pain, anesthesia,
spinal cord injury, head trauma, chemical-induced, anaphylaxis,
sepsis, capillary leak, burns, extensive trauma, liver impairment,
hypoproteinemia)
⫸ obstructive shock cause. Answer: cardiac function decreased by
noncardiac factor (ex. cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax)
⫸ Shock and SNS mechanism. Answer: increased HR, Increased RR,
increased glycolysis, decreased urinary output, shunt blood away
from less vital organs, vasoconstriction
⫸ shock: gas exchange and perfusion*. Answer:
⫸ stages of shock. Answer: * initial
* nonprogressive
, * progressive
* refractory
⫸ Initial stage of shock s/s. Answer: decrease in MAP of 5-10, mild
vasoconstriction, increased HR
⫸ nonprogressive stage of shock s/s. Answer: decrease in MAP of
10-15, moderate vasoconstriction, increased heart rate, decreased
pulse pressure, decreased urine output, thirsty, mild acidosis, mild
hyperkalemia
⫸ progressive stage of shock s/s. Answer: decrease in MAP >20,
moderate acidosis, moderate hyperkalemia, tissue ischemia
⫸ refractory stage of shock s/s. Answer: tissue ischemia and necrosis,
myocardial depressant, multiple organ dysfunction, death
⫸ stages of shock management*. Answer: administer meds, cardiac
monitoring
⫸ how to calculate MAP. Answer: (SBP + 2DBP)/3 goal number is
>60
⫸ complications of shock. Answer: Acute respiratory distress
syndrome
Acute renal failure
