NUR 2212 F. H. Exam 3 Graded A+
What is the pathophysiology of shock? - answer Inadequate tissue perfusion. Cells are
lacking oxygen and nutrients.
What are the S&S of Neurogenic shock? SATA
1-Increased pulse pressure
2-Hypotension (systolic < 80)
3-Hypertension
4-Skin warm, pink, and dry
5-Bradicardia (<60)
6-Bladder dysfunction - answer2-Hypotension (systolic <80)
4-Skin warm, pink, and dry
5-Bradycardia (<60)
6-Bladder dysfunction
A client has a functional transection of the spinal cord at C7-8, resulting in spinal shock.
Which clinical indicators does the nurse expect to identify when assessing the client
immediately after the injury? SATA
1-Spasticity
2-Incontinence
3-Flaccid paralysis
4-Respiratory failure
5-Lack of reflexes below the injury - answer3-Flaccid paralysis
5-Lack of reflexes below the injury
What are the nutritional needs during shock and why?
What is the rationale if increased nutritional needs? - answerMore Calories. Fight or
flight response increase the metabolic demands. Catecholamines will increase
metabolic demands and will require more calories.
What is the role of ADH during shock and its consequences in the UOP? - answerThe
role of ADH is to retain fluids (water) and decreased UOP.
What is the priority nursing considerations for the administration of IV Dopamine
infusion? - answer-Dopamine is a catecholamine (vasoconstriction)
-Dopamine Increases BP and require frequent VS monitoring
-Give through central line and monitor ( if infiltrated can cause vasoconstriction of the
tissue and necrosis)
-Dopamine must be titrated slow.
