EXAMINATION TEST 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ relative hypovolemia. Answer: low volume of blood relative to the
size of the space
⩥ anaphylactic shock. Answer: a life-threatening form of severe allergic
reaction due to three factors
o massive vasodilation
o widespread vessel permeability (fluid leakage)
o bronchoconstriction
causes: medications, foods, bites, stings, environmental allergens
S/S:
- skin: hives, swelling, itching, flushed or cyanotic color
- cardiovascular: weak pulses, hypotension
- respiratory: severe dyspnea, wheezing, respiratory failure
usually occurs within 30 minutes of exposure to allergen
,⩥ neurogenic shock. Answer: caused by spinal cord damage, typically in
the cervical region -> leads to massive, systemic vasodilation below the
level of injury
S/S:
-MOI c-spine injury
- hypotension
- warm skin, normal color (due to inability to vasoconstrict)
- heart rate that is NOT tachycardic
- paralysis
- respiratory paralysis
⩥ septic shock. Answer: caused by severe infection, which damages
blood vessels and increases plasma loss out of the vascular space.
vessels do not constrict well, cannot compensate
S/S:
- fever, chills, weakness
- recent illness, infection, or surgery
- altered level of consciousness, increased respiratory rate
- tachycardia, hypotension, pale, cool skin
,- weak peripheral pulses and loss of appetite
⩥ psychogenic shock. Answer: pseudo-shock caused by sudden,
temporary vasodilation that leads to syncope (fainting). does not
inerently present a sustained problem due to inadequate tissue perfusion
sudden vasodilation interrupts blood flow to the brain, leading to a
syncopal episode
⩥ hypovolemic shock. Answer: (fluid problem)
causes: loss of whole blood, dehydration
S/S:
- trauma, blunt or penetrating
- bleeding, altered LOC, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
- tachycardia, pale, cool skin
- weak peripheral pulses, hypotension
⩥ Altered LOC, tachycardia, pale and cool skin, weak peripheral pulses,
increased respiratory rate, thirst, delayed capillary refill. Answer: What
are the 7 main early signs of shock?
, ⩥ falling blood pressure, irregular breathing, mottling or cyanosis,
absent peripheral pulses. Answer: What are the 4 major signs of late
shock?
⩥ warm skin, normal heart rate, paralysis. Answer: What three signs
make the presentation of neurogenic shock unique?
⩥ control bleeding, place in shock position, prevent loss of heat, rapid
transport. Answer: How do you manage for shock? 4 Steps
⩥ cardiogenic and obstructive. Answer: Those with ________ and
___________ shock should not be placed supine
⩥ asthma. Answer: an acute condition caused by bronchoconstriction
and excess mucus production (exercise, allergic response, illness)
S/S: wheezing upon exhalation, absent lung sounds, coughing
⩥ chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. Answer: a slow, chronic
disease process that obstructs and damages the lower airways and
alveoli. COPD disorders include chronic bronchitis and emphysema
causes: cigarette smoking
