During an assessment the nurse is concerned that a patient is developing cardiogenic shock. What did the nurse assess in this patient? (Choose all the correct answers)
Systolic blood pressure 82 mm Hg
Capillary refill 10 seconds
Crackles bilateral lung bases
Heart rate 55 and regular
A patient is admitted to the emergency department after sustaining abdominal injuries and a broken femur from a motor vehicle accident. The patient is pale, diaphoretic, and is not talking coherently. Vital signs upon admission are temperature 36.3), heart rate 130 beats/minute, respiratory rate 34 breaths/minute, blood pressure 50/40mmHg. The healthcare provider suspects which type of shock?
Cardiogenic
Hypovolemic
Neurogenic
Distributive
Which of the following is not capable of producing obstructive shock?
Pulmonary Embolus
Cardiac Tamponade
Tension pneumothorax
Mitral regurgitation
The haemotologic system reacts to acute severe blood loss by:
A rapid increase in red blood cell production
Platelet activation
A rapid increase in platelet production
Deactivating the coagulation cascade
Causes of distributive shock include all of the following EXCEPT:
Myocardial infarction
Toxic shock syndrome
Sepsis
Anaphylaxis
Which of the following is the most common cause of death in intensive care units?
Obstructive shock
Septic shock
Cardiogenic shock
Hypovolaemic shock
What is the treatment of choice to correct Hypovolemic Shock?
Have the patient drink a large bottle of Gatorade.
Replace fluids intravenously as quickly as possible.
Administer a vasopressor (ex: Dopamine or Norepinephrine)
All of the above.
What will the nurse identify as symptoms of hypovolaemic shock in a patient? (there may be more than one correct answer)
Temperature of 36.4
Restlessness
Capillary refill time greater than 3 seconds
Sinus tachycardia of 155bpm
A patient is demonstrating pulmonary edema, hypotension, and delayed capillary refill. The nurse suspects the patient is experiencing which type of shock?
Hypovolemic
Cardiogenic
Anaphylactic
Obstructive
A patient is experiencing an anaphylactic reaction to a medication. The nurse is concerned that the patient will develop distributive shock because:
The release of histamine causes vasodilation with plasma leakage.
Sympathetic innervation is interrupted.
Microorganisms overwhelm the vascular system.
Parasympathetic innervation functions are unopposed
