to meet the oxygen demands
and metabolic requirments of body tissues
2. cascade of events in shock-CORRECT ANSWER- -less OXYGEN to tissues -cellular dysfunction -
rapid progression to organ failure -total body system failure
3. in shock, it is a state where-CORRECT ANSWER- the cardiovascular system is affected
4. shock equals-CORRECT ANSWER- poor tissue perfusion
5. an event that causes lack of perfusion to your body means-CORRECT ANSWER- youre in shock
6. initial stages of shock-CORRECT ANSWER- -under perfusion of tissues -increased anaerobic
metabolism -lactic acid buildup
7. warning sign of initial stage in shock-CORRECT ANSWER- change in mental status
8. compensatory stage of shock-CORRECT ANSWER- -SNS activated -compensatory mechanisms
kick in
9. warning sign of compensatory stage of shock-CORRECT ANSWER- -hypotension -increased HR
-increased RR
10. Initial stage will have-CORRECT ANSWER- -tissue ischemia -very little signs (tip of iceberg) -
change in mental status is #1 warning sign
11. normal lactic is-CORRECT ANSWER- 0.5-2
12. lactic acid is-CORRECT ANSWER- -a byproduct of anerobic metabolism -body way of telling
you cells do not have enough oxygen and are having to make their own
13. what is happening in the compensatory stage?-CORRECT ANSWER- -body sees issues and
starts to compensate -BP drops and body tries to compensate -this is the stage where rapid
response is typically called -want to catch them in compensatory
