The term “shock” is MOST accurately defined as:
a decreased supply of oxygen to the brain.
cardiovascular collapse leading to inadequate perfusion
decreased circulation of blood within the venous circulation
decreased function of the respiratory system leading to hypoxia
Anaphylactic shock is typically associated with:
urticaria.
bradycardia.
localized welts.
a severe headache.
Signs of compensated shock include all of the following, EXCEPT:
restlessness or anxiety
pale, cool, clammy skin.

A 33-year-old woman presents with a generalized rash, facial swelling, and hypotension approximately 10 minutes after being stung by a hornet. Her BP is 70/50 mm Hg and her heart rate is 120 beats/min. In addition to high-flow oxygen, this patient is in MOST immediate need of:
epinephrine
rapid transport
an antihistamine
IV fluids
All of the following are potential causes of impaired tissue perfusion, EXCEPT:
increased number of red blood cells
pump failure
low fluid volume
poor vessel function
A semiconscious patient pushes your
hand away when you pinch his earlobe. You should describe his level of consciousness as:
alert
unresponsive.
responsive to painful stimuli
responsive to verbal stimuli
In an otherwise healthy individual, the primary stimulus to breathe is a(n):
increased level of oxygen in the blood.
decreased level of oxygen in the blood
increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood.
decreased level of carbon dioxide in the blood
