NUR-252- Critical Care Exam 2
Questions and Correct Answers
Shock: A syndrome characterized by .... and ..., causing an
imbalance in... ✅decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism;
imbalance in supply & demand for oxygen and nutrients

Cardiogenic shock: Definition
1. ______ or _____ dysfunction
2. Results in compromised... ✅1. systolic or diastolic dysfunction
2. compromised CO (decreased SV)

Cardiogenic shock: Causes
1. systolic dysfunction (5)
2. diastolic dysfunction (3)
3. other (3) ✅1. inability to pump blood fwd, primarily affecting LV; most common
causes include MI, blunt cardiac injury, end stage HF & cardiomyopathy, severe HTN
2. cardiac tamponade, ventricular hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy
3. dysrhythmias, structural factors (valvular stenosis or regurgitation, septal ruptures),
tension pneumothorax

Cardiogenic shock: Manifestations
1. key (3)
2. early (3)
3. general physical assessment findings (10) ✅1. Narrowed pulse pressure, crackles,
increased PAWP
2. Tachycardia, hypotension, narrowed pulse pressure
3. Tachypnea, pale/cool/clammy skin, cyanosis, weak pulses, decreased capillary refill,
anxiety/confusion/agitation, decreased U/O (NA+ & H2O retention), chest pain possible,
decreased bowel sounds, N/V

What causes a narrowed pulse pressure? ✅d/t inability to pump blood fwd during
systole & increased volume during diastole; <40 is concerning

T or F: during Cardiogenic shock, there is an increase in myocardial oxygen
consumption. Explain your response ✅True, because heart is trying to compensate

Cardiogenic shock: Dx findings
1. BNP
2. ECG
3. ECHO
4. CXR
5. CK

,6. Troponin
7. BUN
8. Glucose ✅1. Elevated
2. Dysrhythmias possible
3. Left ventricular failure
4. pulmonary infiltrates
5. elevated in heart muscle damage/hypoxia, MI
6. elevated if MI
7. elevated (decreased renal perfusion)
8. Elevated; early shock d.t SNS/cortisol

Cardiogenic shock: Tx
1. Medications (4)
2. Px (3)
3. Monitoring
4. devices
5. other ✅1. Nitrates (dilate coronary arteries), vasodilators (reduce afterload), beta-
blockers (reduce HR), Diuretics (reduce preload)
2. Emergency revascularization (Angioplasty w/ stents, tPA), valve replacement, heart
transplant; tx cause
3. Hemodynamic monitoring
4. CADs
5. oxygen (NC, NR, ET)

Hypovolemic Shock: Types
1. Absolute (4)
2. Relative (5) ✅1. Actual loss out of body; Hemorrhage, GI loss (N/V/D), fistula
drainage, DI or Hyperglycemia (Polyuria/Diuresis)
2. Third spacing; bowel obstruction, burns, ascites, internal bleeding, sepsis

Hypovolemic Shock: Manifestations
1. Key (1)
2. cardiac/skin (7)
3. resp (2)
4. behavioral (3)
5. GI/GU (2) ✅1. decreased PAWP/CVP
2. decreased preload, SV, CO, tachycardia, hypotension, prolonged cap refill,
pale/cool/clammy skin
3. tachypnea to bradypnea
4. anxiety, agitation, confusion
5. absent bowel sounds, decreased U/O

Hypovolemic Shock: Dx
1. H & H
2. hourly U/O
3. RBC

,4. Lactate
5. Electrolytes
6. ABG ✅1. N or high at first, then low after fluid resuscitation
2 low; high urine specific gravity
3. N or high at first, then low after fluid resuscitation
4. elevated (hypoxia/anaerobic)
5. High Na+ (aldosterone release), low after fluids; K+ high d/t cellular release, acidosis,
AKi, progressed beyond compensatory stage; K+ low in very early shock d/t aldosterone
release
6. Early: resp. alkalosis d/t hyperventilation; Late: metabolic acidosis d/t lactate build up
(base deficit)

Hypovolemic Shock: Tx (3) ✅1. Crystalloids (NS, LR, NaCl) r/f FVE, hyperchloremic
metabolic acidosis, no LR if liver failure; hypernatremia
2. colloids (albumin, dextran) r/f FVE
3. if loss of blood is >30%, blood is given; r/f rxns

Hypovolemic Shock: Fluid resuscitation rule ✅3:1 = 3 ml of isotonic crystalloid for
every 1 ml of estimated blood loss

Neurogenic Shock:
1. causes (3)
2. may last up to
3. Results in massive... ✅1. can occur within 30 min of SCI at T5 or above, spinal
anesthetic, CNS depressant drugs (ex. opioids, benzos)
2. 6 weeks
3. massive vasodilation, leading to pooling of blood in vessels, tissue hypoperfusion,
ultimately impaired cellular metabolism

Neurogenic Shock: Manifestations
1. Key (2)
2. cardiac
3. Integument
4. Resp, GU, MS ✅1. bradycardia, Dry/cold skin
2. hypotension
