Types of Shock
Loss of circulating blood volume causes this type of shock.
What is hypovolemic shock
Early shock often causes this mental status change
What is restlessness or anxiety
Priority initial intervention for most shock states
What is administer oxygen
First-line medication for anaphylactic shock
What is epinephrine
Final common pathway of all types of shock (What happens to tissue)
What is decreased tissue perfusion
This shock results from severe allergic reaction.
What is anaphylactic shock
Urine output in shock typically does this.
What is decreases
Position often used to improve perfusion in hypovolemic shock
What is supine with legs elevated (modified Trendelenburg)
Common vasopressor used in septic shock
What is norepinephrine
A septic shock patient has warm, flushed skin. Is this early or late shock
Early Septic Shock
Pump failure of the heart leads to this shock.
What is cardiogenic shock
Skin in hypovolemic shock is usually this temperature and moisture
What is cool and clammy
Large-bore IV access is started primarily for this purpose
What is rapid fluid resuscitation
This inotrope improves cardiac contractility in cardiogenic shock
What is dobutamine
Which is the priority: giving antibiotics or maintaining airway in a shock patient?
What is maintaining the airway
Widespread infection commonly leads to this type.
What is septic shock
This vital sign usually rises first in early shock
What is heart rate (tachycardia)
This output should be at least 30 mL/hr to indicate adequate perfusion.
What is urine output
These fluids are typically given first in hypovolemic shock
What are crystalloids (normal saline or LR)
Which finding best indicates that fluid resuscitation in hypovolemic shock is effective
What is urine output ≥ 30 mL/hr
Spinal cord injury causing hypotension and bradycardia leads to this shock
What is neurogenic shock
Late shock often presents with this blood pressure change
What is hypotension
The nurse monitors this lab closely to evaluate tissue hypoxia in shock.
What is serum lactate
Medication class that reduces cardiac workload by dilating vessels
What are nitrates
The nurse is caring for a patient with cardiogenic shock. Why must IV fluids be administered cautiously?
What is risk of fluid overload and pulmonary edema
