100

This type of shock results from a significant loss of intravascular volume and requires immediate fluid replacement

Hypovolemic shock

100

Two or more of these findings define SIRS

abnormal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, WBC count
100

This catecholamine vasopressor is first-line for septic shock to raise BP through vasoconstriction

Norepinephrine

100

A patient with PE may present with this triad of symptoms

dyspnea, tachypnea, and pleuritic chest pain

100
Hypertensive urgency can often be treated with this route of medication

oral

200

A patient in cardiogenic shock often requires this mechanical device to improve cardiac output and coronary perfusion

intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)

200

The fluid resuscitation protocol for sepsis recommends administering this amount of isotonic fluid per kilogram

30mL/kg

200

This inotrope increases myocardial contractility without significantly increasing HR

Dobuatime

200

This lab test shows the degree of fibrinolysis and is often elevated in both PE and DIC

D Dimer

200
A systolic BP >180mmHg and DBP >120mmHg with organ damage defines this condition

hypertensive emergency

300

Distributive shock caused by massive vasodilation due to histamine release is known as this

anaphylactic shock

300

The best indicator that early sepsis has progressed to septic shock is this hemodynamic change

hypotension unresponsive to fluids

300

A hypertensive emergency may be treated with this IV calcium channel blokcer

nicardipine

300

Early in DIC, the platelet count drops below this threshold

140,000

300

During an acute aortic dissection, the BP goal is to reduce systolic to this range with how many minutes

100-120mmHg and within 20 minutes

400

This type of shock occurs when the heart cannot fill or pump properly due to external pressure, such as in cardiac tamponade

obstructive shock

400

This biomarker is used to detect bacterial infection and guide antibiotic therapy in sepsis

procalcitonin

400

This nitrate causes vasodilation, reducing both preload and afterload

nitroglycerin

400

Definitive diagnosis of PE is made using this imaging test

spiral CT scan (CT pulmonary angiography)

400

Aneurysms most commonly occur at this location along the aorta

below the renal arteries and above the iliac birfucation

500

Neurogenic shock results from loss of sympathetic tone below the level of injury, often causing these two hallmark symptoms

hypotension and bradycardia

500

The SOFA score evaluates dysfunction in six organ systems, name THREE

respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological

500

This anticoagulant is used in DIC to prevent new clots while replacing clotting factors

Heparin
500

DIC treatment includes replacing these four blood products

platelets, plasma, FFP, and cryoprecipitate

500

After peripheral bypass surgery, a nurse's first assessment priority is this

check distal pulses and perfusion
