Understanding Distributive Shock and Anaphylactic Shock

What are the three types of distributive shock discussed in the lesson?

• Cardiogenic, hypovolemic, and obstructive shock

• Anaphylactic, neurogenic, and septic shock

• Obstructive, anaphylactic, and neurogenic shock

• Hypovolemic, septic, and cardiogenic shock

What does the term 'anaphylactic' derive from?

• Without and safety

• With and immunity

• For and defense

• Against and protection

What is the primary role of B-cells in anaphylactic shock?

• To destroy allergens

• To produce antibodies

• To release histamine

• To cause vasodilation

Which receptor sites are involved in the histamine response during anaphylactic shock?

• C1 and C2 receptors

• B1 and B2 receptors

• A1 and A2 receptors

• H1 and H2 receptors

How does the non-immunological response differ from the immunological response in anaphylactic shock?

• It involves only B-cells

• It does not involve histamine release

• It does not require initial sensitization

• It requires initial sensitization

Which of the following is a common symptom of anaphylactic shock?

• Increased blood pressure

• Swelling throughout the body

• Dry skin

• Decreased heart rate

What is the first line treatment for anaphylactic shock?

• Antihistamines

• Corticosteroids

• Epinephrine

• Albuterol

Why are IV fluids administered during anaphylactic shock?

• To reduce gastric acid production

• To replace fluid lost from leaky vessels

• To decrease heart rate

• To increase blood sugar levels

What is the role of antihistamines in treating anaphylactic shock?

• To stimulate the immune system

• To induce vasodilation

• To block histamine receptors

• To increase blood pressure

What is a potential risk if anaphylactic shock is not treated promptly?

• Improved airway function

• Increased blood pressure

• Rebound anaphylaxis

• Decreased gastric acid
