Answer: 30
◍ When blood glucose levels fall below.
Answer: 50 to 60 mg/dl hypoglycemia may result
◍ Crash Cart Drawer 2.
Answer: intubation/airway materials (flashlight, syringe, bite block, tongue
depressors, etc.)
◍ Hypothermia.
Answer: abnormally low body temperature. can cause death if below 93.2 F
◍ 3. Irreversible stage.
Answer: 1. blood pressure remains low2. renal and liver failure results3.
release of necrotic tissue toxins an overwhelming lactic acidosis
◍ Clinical manifestations of septic shock- second phase.
Answer: Cool, pale skinNormal or subnormal temperatureDrop in blood
pressureRapid heart rate & respiratory rateOliguria or anuria (no urination at
all) Seizures & organ failure if syndrome is not reversed
◍ 1. Cardiogenic shock.
Answer: caused by failure of the heart to pump adequate amounts of blood
to vital organs
◍ obstructive shock.
, Answer: results from pathologic conditions that interfere with the normal
pumping action of the heart (unrelated to heart pathologies and conditions
itself). caused usually by pulmonary embolism
◍ Code Grey.
Answer: person with weapon or hostage situation

Answer: occurs when diabetics have an excess amount of insulin or oral
hypoglycemic drug in their bloodstream, an increased rate of use of glucose,
or inadequate food intake with which to use insulin. When blood glucose
levels fall below 50 to 60 mg/dL, hypoglycemia may result. Blood sugar
below 0.5% - normal is 1%. Onset of symptoms is rapid, immediate action
necessary to prevent coma. AKA insulin reaction. Must be treated
immediately because it interferes with the oxygen supply to the brain & may
quickly lead to cerebral damage or death
◍ Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.
Answer: Caused by obesity, hereditary factors, or environmental conditions.
