PN3 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
hypovalemic shock
Lack of circulating blood volume
cardiogenic shock
weakened forward pumping function of the heart
neurogenic shock
hypoperfusion due to nerve paralysis (sometimes caused by spinal cord injuries)
resulting in the dilation of blood vessels that increases the volume of the circulatory
system beyond the point where it can be filled.
septic shock
a serious condition that occurs when an overwhelming bacterial infection affects the
body
Major cause of septic shock
Gram negative bacteria
"Strawberry tongue"
Scarlet fever, Kawasaki disease, toxic shock syndrome
strawberry tongue
necrotic vecitis severe infection of the muscle in the extremities pf the trunk- gangrene
is happening- amputaton- very high mortaltiy rate
The nurse is caring for a client who has sustained multiple injuries from a motor
vehicle accident. The nurse realizes that the client will have a release of stress
hormones that are useful for all of the following except?
preventing ingestion of food
The nurse is planning care for a client with acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS).
Which of the following is not included in the management of this disorder?
promoting urine output
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with shock realizes that the stage in
which the body attempts to remedy the problem by initiating the hemostatic
mechanism would be?
compensatory stage
The client experiences a bee sting complains of difficulty breathing, and shows
sign of hypoxia and hypotension. The nurse realizes these are signs if
anaphylactic shock and she should do which of he following first?
Give epinephrine IV or via endotracheal tube
KNOW THAT 1:1,000 ratio for epinephrine represents 1 gram of epinephrine in 1,000
mL of solution, so the amount per unit of volume is 1 mg/mL. A 1:10,000 ratio for
epinephrine represents 1 gram of epinephrine in 10,000 mL of solution, so the amount
per unit volume is 0.1 mg/mL
