✅it aids in aligning the child’s airway
what does DKA cause? - ANS ✅it causes frequent urination in an attempt to rid
the body of excess acid build-up
what does alpha 1 receptors do? - ANS ✅vasoconstricts/shunts blood
what does beta 1 receptors do? - ANS ✅increases HR/contractility
what is the difference between compensatory and decompensatory stages
of shock? - ANS ✅compensatory: normal blood pressure

what is the paper bag effect? - ANS ✅when a victim takes a deep breath before
impact and the air trapped in the lungs is compressed; may cause a

capillary bleed: - ANS ✅slow, even flow; dark to intermediate red
Femur Blood Loss: - ANS ✅1500 mL
Pelvic blood loss: - ANS ✅2000 mL
abdomen loss with 1 inch distention: - ANS ✅1000-2000 mL
