Covers: hypovolemic, cardiogenic, distributive (septic, anaphylactic, neurogenic),
and obstructive shock
Strengthen your critical thinking in shock recognition and interventions —
prioritize care, prevent complications, and think like a nurse
, 1. Deep Overview
2. 25 NCLEX-Style Practice Questions
3. Shock Quick Reference Chart
4. Free Nursing Study Tools
This quiz reinforces critical recognition and management of shock. Topics include early and late
signs, lab interpretation, interventions, and patient safety strategies for all shock types.
Shock can progress rapidly to multi-organ failure or death if not recognized early
Nurses must assess ABCs, monitor hemodynamics, and initiate rapid interventions
Knowledge here is crucial for NCLEX, HESI, and real-world critical care
1. Assess ABCs and hemodynamic status
2. Monitor vitals, urine output, and lab trends
3. Administer fluids, medications, and oxygen as prescribed
4. Prepare for rapid intervention (e.g., vasopressors, transfusion)
5. Educate patients and families about early warning signs
Q1. Patient with hypovolemic shock presents with low BP, tachycardia, and pallor. Priority
nursing action?
✅ A. Administer IV fluids, monitor vitals, notify provider
B. Document only
C. Encourage oral intake
D. Delay care
Rationale: Hypovolemia requires rapid fluid resuscitation to maintain perfusion.
Q2. Cardiogenic shock patient shows pulmonary edema and low BP. Nursing priority?
✅ A. Administer oxygen, monitor vitals, notify provider
B. Delay intervention
C. Encourage oral fluids
D. Document only
