NURS FPX4060 EXAMINATION TEST 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Shock results in. Answer: An imbalance between supply and demand
for oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level
◉ What 3 pieces are needed for perfusion? Answer: Adequate pump
(heart)
Effective vasculature (Veins)
Sufficient volume (Blood)
◉ What are the 2 classifications of shock? Answer: Low blood flow
Maldistribution of blood flow
◉ What are the 4 stages of shock? Answer: Initial
Compensatory (non-progressive)
Progressive (intermediate)
Refractory (irreversible)
◉ What 2 types of shock are classified as "low blood flow?". Answer:
Cardiogenic
Hypovolemic
, ◉ What 3 types of shock are classified as "maldistribution of blood
flow?". Answer: Septic
Anaphylactic
Neurogenic
◉ Describe the initial stage of shock. Answer: Changes occur at the
cellular level
May not be clinically evident
◉ Describe the compensatory (non-progressive) stage of shock. Answer:
Measures to maintain homeostasis are maintained
◉ Describe the progressive (intermediate) stage of shock. Answer:
Compensatory mechanisms begin to fail
◉ Describe the refractory (irreversible) stage of shock. Answer: Waste
products from anaerobic metabolism cause increased vessel permeability
and dilation
Unable to maintain coronary or cerebral blood flow
Recovery is unlikely
