JB Learning: EMT Chapter 12: Shock questions
and answers(latest update ,graded A+
Afterload - answer The force or resistance against which the heart pumps.
Aaphylactic Shock - answer Severe shock caused by an allergic reaction.
Anaphylaxis - answer An extreme, life-threatening systemic allergic reaction that may include
shock and respiratory failure.
Aneurysm - answer A swelling or enlargement of a part of an artery, resulting from weakening
of the arterial wall.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) - answer The part of the nervous system that regulates
involuntary activities of the body, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion of food.
Cardiac Tamponade - answer Compression of the heart as the result of buildup of blood or
other fluid in the pericardial sac, leading to decreased cardiac output.
Cardiogenic Schock - answer A state in which not enough oxygen is delivered to the tissues of
the body, caused by low output of blood from the heart. It can be a severe complication of a
large acute myocardial infarction, as well as other conditions.
Compensated Shock - answer The early stage of shock, in which the body can still compensate
for blood loss.
Cyanosis - answer A blue skin discoloration that is caused by a reduced level of oxygen in the
blood.
, Decompensated Shock - answer The late stage of shock when blood pressure is falling.
Dehydration - answer Loss of water from the tissues of the body.
Distributive Shock - answer A condition that occurs when there is widespread dilation of the
small arterioles, small venules, or both.
Edema - answer The presence of abnormally large amounts of fluid between cells in the body
tissues causing swelling of the affected area.
Homeostasis - answer A balance of all systems of the body.
Hypothermia - answer a condition in which body temperature becomes dangerously low,
anywhere below 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hypovolemic Shock - answer Shock resulting from blood or fluid loss.
Myocardial Contractility - answer The ability of the heart muscle to contract.
Neurogenic Shock - answer Circulatory failure caused by paralysis of the nerves that control the
size of the blood vessels, leading to widespread dilation; seen in patients with spinal cord
injuries.
Obstructive Shock - answer Shock that occurs when there is a block to blood flow in the heart or
great vessels, causing an insufficient blood supply to the body's tissues.
Perfusion - answer The flow of blood through body tissues and vessels.
