What is shock? AnsInadequate perfusion at the tissue level resulting in a decreased supply of O2 and nutrients required to maintain the metabolic needs of the body. What are the classifications of shock? AnsHypovolemic, Cardiogenic, Obstructive, Distributive. What is the primary goal of compensatory mechanisms in shock? AnsTo maintain perfusion of the heart, brain, and kidneys while compromising perfusion of other organs. What are the compensatory mechanisms in the vascular response to shock? AnsEpinephrine and norepinephrine lead to sympathetic stimulation, baroreceptor inhibition, arteriole constriction, and increased total peripheral resistance.

QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS |100% CORRECT |
ALREADY GRADED A
What is shock? Ans✓✓✓Inadequate perfusion at the tissue level
resulting in a decreased supply of O2 and nutrients required to maintain
the metabolic needs of the body.


What are the classifications of shock? Ans✓✓✓Hypovolemic,
Cardiogenic, Obstructive, Distributive.


What is the primary goal of compensatory mechanisms in shock?
Ans✓✓✓To maintain perfusion of the heart, brain, and kidneys while
compromising perfusion of other organs.


What are the compensatory mechanisms in the vascular response to
shock? Ans✓✓✓Epinephrine and norepinephrine lead to sympathetic
stimulation, baroreceptor inhibition, arteriole constriction, and increased
total peripheral resistance.


What is the renal response during shock? Ans✓✓✓Renal ischemia
triggers the renin-angiotensin system, leading to vasoconstriction and
aldosterone release, causing sodium and water retention.


What are the stages of shock? Ans✓✓✓Stage I: Initiation, Stage II:
Compensatory, Stage III: Progressive, Stage IV: Refractory.

, What characterizes Stage I: Initiation of shock? Ans✓✓✓Hypoperfusion
with inadequate delivery or extraction of oxygen, no obvious clinical
signs, and is early and reversible.


What occurs in Stage II: Compensatory shock? Ans✓✓✓Sustained
reduction in tissue perfusion with initiation of compensatory
mechanisms, including neural, endocrine, and chemical responses.


What are the effects of Stage III: Progressive shock? Ans✓✓✓Increased
capillary hydrostatic pressure, failure of compensatory mechanisms,
interstitial edema, and decreased coronary perfusion.


What defines Stage IV: Refractory shock? Ans✓✓✓Prolonged
inadequate tissue perfusion that is unresponsive to therapy, contributing
to multiple organ dysfunction and death.


What are the clinical presentations of hypovolemic shock?
Ans✓✓✓Pale, waxen skin; collapsed neck veins; weak and thready
pulses; and delayed capillary refill.


What is the treatment priority for hypovolemic shock? Ans✓✓✓ABC's
first, followed by identifying and controlling the source of fluid/blood
loss and administering volume.
