2024 JB LEARNING EMT SHOCK
CHAPTER 12 EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Afterload - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe force or resistance against which the
heart pumps.
Aaphylactic Shock - CORRECT-ANSWERSSevere shock caused by an allergic
reaction.
Anaphylaxis - CORRECT-ANSWERSAn extreme, life-threatening systemic
allergic reaction that may include shock and respiratory failure.
Blood - CORRECT-ANSWERSConnective tissue made of plasma, erythrocytes,
leukocytes, and platelets.
What is the role of blood? - CORRECT-ANSWERSBlood is the vehicle for
carrying oxygen and nutrients through the vessels to the capillary beds and
tissue cells, where these supplies are exchanged for waste products.
Blood contains... - CORRECT-ANSWERSRed blood cells, white blood cells,
platelets, plasma
Systolic Pressure - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe peak arterial pressure, or
pressure generated every time the heart contracts.
Diastolic pressure - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe pressure maintained within the
arteries while the heart rests between heartbeats.
Various types of shock - CORRECT-ANSWERSCardiogenic, Obstructive, Septic,
Neurogenic, Anaphylactic, Psychogenic, and Hypovolemic.
Signs of compensated shock include... - CORRECT-ANSWERSAnxiety or
agitation; tachycaria; pale, cool, moist skin; increased respiratory rate;
nausea and vomiting; and increased thirst.
Sings of decompensated shock - CORRECT-ANSWERSLabored or irregular
respirations, ashen gray or cyanotic skin color, weak or absent distal pulses,
, dilated pupils and profound hypotension (systolic blood pressure of 90mm
HG or lower in an adult)
By the time a drop in blood pressure is detected... - CORRECT-
ANSWERSShock is usually in an advanced stage.
Anticipate shock in patients who may have the following conditions: -
CORRECT-ANSWERSSevere infection, Significant blunt force trauma or
penetrating trauma, Massive external bleeding or index of suspicion for
major internal bleeding, Spinal injury, Chest or abdominal injury, Major heart
attack, and Anaphylaxis.
Treat all patients suspected to be in shock from any cause as follows and in
this order: - CORRECT-ANSWERSOpen and maintain the airway, control life-
threatening hemorrhage immediately with direct pressure or tourniquet
application when appropriate. Provide high-flow oxygen, and as needed
provide BVM-assisted ventilations. Maintain normal body temperature with
blankets. Provide calm reassurance. Provide prompt transport to the
appropriate hospital.
A 25 year old unrestrained female struck the steering wheel with her chest
when her car hit a tree while traveling at a high rate of speed. She has signs
and symptoms of shock, which you suspect are the result of intrathoracic
bleeding. What intervention will provide the patient with the greatest chance
for survival? - CORRECT-ANSWERSRapid transport to trauma center.
Distributive shock occurs when: - CORRECT-ANSWERSWidespread dilation of
the blood vessels causes blood to pool in the vascular beds.
Pulmonary edema and impaired ventilation occurs during: - CORRECT-
ANSWERSCardiogenic Shock
When assessing a patient with signs and symptoms of shock, it is important
to remember that: - CORRECT-ANSWERSBlood pressure may be the last
measurable factor to change in shock.
What is an example injury that would most likely cause obstructive shock? -
CORRECT-ANSWERSCardiac tamponade
The cardiovascular system consist of these three parts... - CORRECT-
ANSWERSThe pump (heart), The container (vessels), and the contents
(blood).
Shock and Resuscitation - CORRECT-ANSWERSApplies a fundamental
knowledge of the causes, pathophysiology, and management of shock,
respiratory failure or arrest, cardiac failure or arrest, an post resuscitation.
