ALMS UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
🇺🇸 perfusion - CORRECT ANSWER - The delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to body
tissues
Hypoperfusion - CORRECT ANSWER - In adequate tissue perfusion
Shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Systematic hypoperfusion inadequate delivery of oxygen
and other nutrients to body tissues
Adequate tissue perfusion depends on - CORRECT ANSWER - Cardiac output
Cardiac output - CORRECT ANSWER - The amount of blood ejected from the left
ventricle each minute
Stroke volume - CORRECT ANSWER - The amount of blood ejected from the left
ventricle with each heartbeat
Frank starling mechanism - CORRECT ANSWER - Attribute of heart muscle by which the
more it is stretched the more strongly it will contract
Preload - CORRECT ANSWER - The volume of blood delivered to the heart
Vital organs - CORRECT ANSWER - Heart brain lungs kidneys
When arteries and veins constrict there is an increase and - CORRECT ANSWER -
Peripheral vascular resistance or afterload
,Acidosis - CORRECT ANSWER - Excessive acidity of bodily fluids
Hypovolemia - CORRECT ANSWER - Loss of bodily fluids that ultimately result in
shock
Hemorrhagic shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Shock resulting from blood loss a
subcategory of hypovolemic shock
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are - CORRECT ANSWER - Catecholamines a type of
hormone which the adrenal gland secretes directly into the bloodstream
Alpha receptors are stimulated primarily by - CORRECT ANSWER - norepinephrine
causes vasoconstriction
Beta receptors effects primarily by - CORRECT ANSWER - Epinephrine causes
bronchodilation beta-2 receptors and stimulation of cardiac function beta-1 receptors
Compensated shock - CORRECT ANSWER - The period of shock during which the body
is able to compensate for the effects of shock and maintain adequate tissue perfusion
Progressive shock - CORRECT ANSWER - The period of shock during which the body
begins to lose its ability to compensate for shock and becomes unable to maintain adequate tissue
perfusion
Irreversible shock - CORRECT ANSWER - In advance condition of shock and which cell
tissue and organ damage cannot be reversed and will in most circumstance result in death
Obstructive shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Includes cardiac Tamponade, tension
pneumothorax and Pulmonary emboli
, Disruptive shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Includes neurogenic, anaphylactic and septic
shock
Hypovolemic shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Shock resulting from fluid loss: blood,
plasma, or body water
Tension pneumothorax - CORRECT ANSWER - Air or gas trapped in the pleural space
with no route of escape
Pleuritic chest pain - CORRECT ANSWER - Sharp, stabbing pain, worsened by coughing,
sneezing, deep breathing, or movement
Cardiac Tamponade - CORRECT ANSWER - Accumulation of excess fluid in the
pericardium
Paradoxical pulse - CORRECT ANSWER - Suppression of the pulse at the close of
inspiration also called pulses paradoxes
Pulse pressure - CORRECT ANSWER - The difference between systolic and diastolic
blood pressures
Pulmonary emboli - CORRECT ANSWER - Obstructions of pulmonary arteries, using
blood clots
Clot shower - CORRECT ANSWER - Occurrence of multiple blood clots
Disruptive shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Shock resulting from abnormal vasodilation or
vasopermeability or both
Neurogenic shock - CORRECT ANSWER - Shock resulting from abnormal vasodilation
caused by loss of sympathic nerve system response
