TNCC 8TH EDITION EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH 100% COMPLETE AND CORRECT
ANSWERS/A+ GRADE/2024 VERSION
According to newton’s law which of these two force is greater: size or force?
- Answer-Neither. For each force there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Define Cushing's triad
- Answer-Bradycardia, progressive hypertension (widening pulse pressure), and decreased
respiratory effort
Define the characteristics of neurogenic shock
- Answer-Distributive shock with a T6 or higher injury results and vasodilation, bradycardia,
flushed warm dry skin. Risk for temperature instability. Nursing interventions include
maintaining warmth and spinal stabilization.
Define the characteristics of spinal shock
- Answer-Transient loss of function can include loss of reflexes and muscle tone below the level
of industry with possible vascular response.
Describe one fat embolism syndrome is most likely to occur in its characteristics
- Answer-With longform fractures. Tachycardia, Thrombocytopenia, and petechiae rash.
Describe the characteristics of cardiogenic shock
- Answer-Cardiogenic shock results from pump failure in the presence of adequate intravascular
volume. Lack of cardiac output and an organ perfusion occurs secondary to a decrease in
myocardial contractility and or valvular insufficiency. This can happen with blunt cardiac trauma
or an MI. Symptoms can include low blood pressure increase heart rate and respiratory rate chest
pain shortness of breath dysrhythmias increase troponin and pale cool moist skin

Describe the characteristics of distributive shock.
- Answer-Distributive shock occurs as a result of Mel distribution of an adequate circulating
blood volume with the loss of vascular tone or increased permeability. This can occur with spinal
cord injuries, sepsis, or anaphylaxis. Symptoms include low blood pressure heart rate respiratory
rate preload and afterload, spinal tenderness, difficulty breathing, warm pink and dry skin with a
cool core temperature.
Describe the characteristics of hypovolemic shock
- Answer-Hypovolemia is caused by a decrease in the amount of circulating volume usually
caused by massive bleeding, but also can be from vomiting and diarrhea. Characteristics include
low blood pressure and preload, increase heart rate respiratory rate and afterload, with
contractility unchanged. Signs include obvious bleeding, weak peripheral pulses, pale cool and
moist skin, distended abdomen, pelvic fracture, or bruise swollen and deformed extremities
especially long bones.
Describe the characteristics of obstructive shock
- Answer-Obstructive shock is it mechanical problem that results from hypoperfusion of the
tissue due to an obstruction in either the vasculature or the heart resulting in decreased cardiac
output. Some causes include a tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, or venous air
embolism on the right side of the heart during systole in the pulmonary artery.Signs include
anxiety, muffled heart sounds, JVD, hypertension, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or pulses
paradoxes.
Describe the four types of spinal cord injury
- Answer-Central cord injury results in greater weakness distally, anterior injury includes motor
loss or weakness below the cord level of injury yet sensory is intact, Brown-Sequard (hemicord)
is weak on one side with sensory deficit on opposite side, posterior cord syndrome although rare
is when the patient is unable to use sense vibration in proprioception
