UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
VIEW AHEAD PREP MATERIAL SOLVED
⩥ if co2 increases, what does your body do?
Answer: increases resp rate to remove co2
⩥ what is shock?
Answer: A failure of the circulatory system to support vital body
functions. inadequate tissue perfusion.
⩥ neurogenic shock
Answer: Circulatory failure caused by paralysis of the nerves that
control the size of the blood vessels, leading to widespread dilation; seen
in patients with spinal cord injuries.
⩥ hypovolemic shock
Answer: shock resulting from blood or fluid loss
caused by bleeding/hemorrhage, severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, third-
spacing
⩥ cardiogenic shock
,Answer: Shock caused by inadequate function of the heart, or pump
failure.
⩥ anaphylactic shock
Answer: A severe reaction that occurs when an allergen is introduced to
the bloodstream of an allergic individual. Characterized by
bronchoconstriction, labored breathing, widespread vasodilation,
circulatory shock, and sometimes sudden death.
⩥ septic shock
Answer: Shock caused by severe infection, usually a bacterial infection.
⩥ stages of shock
Answer: -Compensated
-Decompensated
-Irreversible
⩥ what % of blood/fluid loss is hypovolemic shock?
Answer: 15%
⩥ hypokalemia
Answer: Low potassium levels in the blood.
, ⩥ hypokalemia s/s
Answer: Fatigue, Anorexia, N/V, Muscle weakness, Decreased GI
motility, Dysrhythmias, Paresthesia, Flat T waves on ECG
⩥ which electrolytes relate to osmotic pressure?
Answer: sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and
phosphate
⩥ calciums role in the body
Answer: - 99% of calcium in the body is found in solid mineral deposits
in the bones and teeth
- the remaining 1% is found in intracellular fluid, blood and extracellular
fluid
- calcium found in the body's fluid plays a role in nerve transmission,
muscle contractions, blood pressure regulation and the release of
hormones
⩥ hypercalcemia s/s
Answer: Muscle weakness, Constipation, Anorexia, N/V, Polyuria,
Polydipsia, Neurosis, Dysrhythmias,
⩥ hypocalcemia s/s
Answer: C.A.T.S.
C - Convulsions
