The practical nurse (PN) is monitoring a child who is manifesting signs of shock after a motor vehicle collision. Which finding is most important for the PN to report to the charge nurse? a) narrowing pulse pressure b) apprehension c) irritability d) thirst Answer: A Rationale: As shock progresses, perfusion in the microcirculation becomes marginal despite compensatory adjustments, and the signs of decompensated shock become pronounced, such as tachycardia and narrowing pulse pressure (...

Emergency Nursing Practice Questions The client diagnosed with hypovolemic shock has a BP of 100/60. Fifteen minutes later the BP is 88/64. How much narrowing of the client's pulse pressure has occurred between the two readings? Answer: 16 mmHg pulse pressure The pulse pressure is the systolic BP minus the diastolic BP. 100 - 60 = 40 mmHg pulse pressure in first BP reading 88 - 64 = 24 mmHg pulse pressure in second reading 40 - 24 = 16 mmHg pulse pressure narrowing. A narrowing o...
