Q

In the compensatory stage of shock what may occur to the patients mental state?

A

They may become confused

28
Q

During the compensatory stage of shock: what should the nurse report in terms of blood pressure and pulse pressure?

A

A BP of 90 or less

A drop of 40 or greater in narrowing pulse pressure

29
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock mechanisms that regulate what can no longer compensate?

A

BP

30
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: what decreases due to the inability for the mechanisms that regulate BP no longer being able to compensate?

A

BP and MAP

31
Q

During the Progressive stage of shock what do all of the organs suffer from?

A

Hypoperfusion

32
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: What does inadequate perfusion of the heart lead to?

A

Dysrhythmias and cardiac ischemia

33
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: what does the furthering of vasoconstriction compromise?

A

Cellular perfusion

34
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: Why would the patients mental status further deteriorate?

A

From decreased cerebral perfusion

35
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: What happens to the patient due to decreased cerebral perfusion?

A

They become lethargic or loses consciousness

36
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: When the lungs begin to fail what begins to occur to the lungs?

A

Pulmonary edema, alveoli collapse, increased CO2 levels, and the respirations become rapid and shallow.

37
Q

During the Progressive stage of shock: What does MAP fall below and what can no longer be maintained?

A

It falls below 70 and GFR cannot be maintained

38
Q

During the Progressive Stage of Shock: What may occur are a complication of shock?

A

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)

39
Q

If the progressive stage of shock happens where does the patient need to be transferred to?

A

ICU

40
Q

What type of extremes does the nurse need to prevent if they are in the progressive stage of shock?

A

Prevent temperature extremes

41
Q

During irreversible shock: The organ damage becomes…

A

Severe

42
Q

When is the judgement that shock is in the irreversible stage made?

A

Only in retrospect

43
Q
Which stage of shock is characterized by normal blood pressure?
A. Initial
B. Compensatory
C. Progressive
D. Irreversible
A

B. Compensatory

44
Q

What are the diagnostic test used to identify all types of shock?

A

CBC
CMP
ABG
Urine specific gravity, osmolarity

45
Q

What medication do you give to a patient with hypovolemic shock?

A

Vasoactive medications

46
Q

What type of replacement needs to be give to a patient with hypovolemic shock?

A

Fluid and blood replacement

47
Q

How do you need to place the bed when a patient is in shock?

A

Modified trendelenburg; the patients bed below the hips must be raised about the head.

Q

What are the complications of fluid replacement?

A

50
Q

What is the prototype drug for fluid replacement?
