COMPREHENSIVE TEST PAPER QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS RESOURCE
●● shock is a
Answer: state of "collapse and failure" of the "cardiovascular" system.
●● shock: In the early stages, the body
Answer: attempts to maintain homeostasis.
●● Shock can occur because of
Answer: -medical
-traumatic events.
●● Adequate perfusion is required to
Answer: provide "cells with oxygen" and nutrients and remove waste
products
-if not good perfusion, you go into shock
●● Any compromise with "perfusion" can lead to
Answer: cellular injury or death
,●● In cases of poor perfusion, transportation of _____ out of tissues is
impaired.
Answer: carbon dioxide
-Results in a dangerous buildup of waste products
●● Shock refers to a state of collapse and failure of the
Answer: cardiovascular system that leads to inadequate circulation.
●● Shock is life threatening
-Requires?
Answer: immediate recognition and rapid transport
●● cardiovascular system consists of 3 parts
Answer: -Pump (heart)
-Set of pipes (blood vessels or arteries)
-Contents (the blood)
●● 3 parts of the cardio systems is also called
Answer: perfusion triangle
,●● When a patient is in shock, leads to what in the perfusion triangle?
Answer: one or more of the three parts is not working properly.
-pump, pipes, contents
●● Heart damage from shock-
Answer: it cannot move enough blood through the body to support
perfusion
●● Blood vessel damage from shock-
Answer: if the blood vessels dilate rapidly, the normal amount of blood
volume is not enough to fill the system and provide adequate perfusion
to the body
●● Blood damage from shock-
Answer: too much blood or plasma loss, the volume of fluid in the
container is not enough to support the perfusion needs
●● anaphylactic shock
Answer: severe allergic reaction
●● Blood pressure is the
Answer: pressure of blood within the vessels at any moment in time.
, ●● Systolic:
Answer: peak arterial pressure
●● Diastolic:
Answer: pressure in the arteries while the heart rests between heartbeats
●● Pulse pressure is the
Answer: difference between systolic and diastolic pressures.
●● when pulse pressure is lower than ____, going into shock
Answer: 25
●● Blood flow through the capillary beds is regulated by the
Answer: capillary sphincters.
●● blood is under the control of which system
Answer: autonomic nervous system
●● capillary Sphincters respond to other stimuli:
Answer: -Heat
-Cold
