Name: Score:62 Multiple choice questions
Term 1 of 62
expect shock in patients with the following:
-increase cardiac output
-apply high-flow oxygen
-only definitive treatment for cardiac tamponade is surgery
-multiple severe fractures
-abdominal or chest injury
-spinal injury
-a severe infection
-a major heart attack
-anaphylaxis
-only really effective treatment of a severe, acute allerigc reaction is to administer
epinephrine by way of instramuscular injection
-requires immediate transport to ED
-high flow oxygen (10-15L/min)
-determien agent caused by reaction/how it was received
result of severe infections, usually bacterial, in which toxins (poisons) are generated by
bacteria or by infected body tissues. Toxins damage vessels walls, causing increased
cellular permeability. The vessel walls leak and are unable to contract well. Widespread
dilation fo vessels, in combination with plasma loss through the injured vesel walls, results
in shock
Term 2 of 62
tracheal deviation
late side fo tension pneumothorax bc wil move to side of lung that's working
tracheal deviation as a sign of dehydration
tracheal deviation caused by pneumonia
tracheal deviation due to muscle spasm
,Definition 3 of 62
-accompanies spinal cord injury is best treated by combination fo all known supportive measure
-usually will require hospitalization for long time
-treatment must be directed at obtaining and maintaining proper airway, providing spinal
immobilization, assisting inadequate breathing as needed, conserving body heat, and ensuring
most effective circulation possible
-keep patient as warm as possible with blankets
reassessment with shock
treatment of septic shock

cyanosis
syncope
pulmonary embolism
beck's triad
, Definition 5 of 62
result of inadequate amount of fluid or volum in circulatory system
-occurs with severe thermal burns. Losss of intravascular plasma is caused by leaking from
circulatory system into burned tissues that lie adjacent to injury
septic shock
hypovolemis shock
pulmonary embolism
neurogenic shock
Definition 6 of 62
no loss of blood or mechanical vascular damage and instead a widespread vascular dilation,
increased permeability, and bronchoconstriction. Combination of poor oxygenation and poor
perfusion in anaphylactic shock may easily prove fatal
process of anaphylactic shock
obstructive shock
non-hemorrhagic shock
process of neurogenic shock
Definition 7 of 62
-secure and maintain airway
-clear mouth and throat fo any obstruction
treatment of respiratory insufficiency
treatment of anaphylactic shock
treatment of neurogenic shock
treatment of psychogenic shock
