Neurogenic Shock Quiz

What are the causes of neurogenic shock?

• Infection in the brain

• Blockage of blood vessels in the heart

• Excessive production of adrenaline

• Disruption of autonomic pathways in the spinal cord

List three symptoms of neurogenic shock.

• Hypotension, Bradycardia, Hypothermia

• Hypotension, Tachycardia, Hyperthermia

• Hypertension, Tachycardia, Hyperthermia

• Tachycardia, Hypertension, Hyperthermia

Name one complication of neurogenic shock.

• Hypotension

• Hypertension

Differentiate between neurogenic shock and hypovolemic shock.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a bacterial infection, while hypovolemic shock is caused by a viral infection.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a disruption of the autonomic nervous system, while hypovolemic shock is caused by a loss of blood volume.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a spinal cord injury, while hypovolemic shock is caused by severe dehydration.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a heart attack, while hypovolemic shock is caused by a stroke.

What are the causes of neurogenic shock?

• Disruption of autonomic pathways in the spinal cord

• Infection in the brain

List three symptoms of neurogenic shock.

• Hypertension, bradycardia, cold and dry skin

• Hypotension, bradycardia, warm and dry skin

• Hypotension, tachycardia, warm and moist skin

• Hypertension, tachycardia, cold and clammy skin

What are the treatment options for neurogenic shock?

• Using herbal remedies, practicing meditation, and receiving acupuncture.

• Stabilizing the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation, administering intravenous fluids, using vasopressor medications, and addressing the underlying cause.

• Prescribing antibiotics, performing physical therapy, and using cold compresses.

• Administering oral medications, performing surgery, and applying heat therapy.

Differentiate between neurogenic shock and cardiogenic shock.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood, while cardiogenic shock is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by damage to the spinal cord, while cardiogenic shock is caused by a failure of the heart to pump effectively.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a failure of the heart to pump effectively, while cardiogenic shock is caused by damage to the spinal cord.

• Neurogenic shock is caused by a blockage in the blood vessels, while cardiogenic shock is caused by a bacterial infection.
