This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this type of shock, the cornerstone of treatment is epinephrine, either intramuscular or IV administration. Glucocorticoids are also a standard treatment. Intubation may be necessary. CARDIOGENIC NEUROGENIC ANAPHYLACTIC
ANAPHYLACTIC Epinephrine counteracts many of the responses that lead to anaphylactic shock, such as bronchoconstriction. Glucocorticoids are used to suppress the overwhelming immune response. As bronchospasm is common in anaphylactic shock, intubation may be necessary.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. This type of shock is manifested by IgE-mediated massive degranulation of mast cells in response to an allergen. Chemical signals result in pronounced vasodilation and bronchospasm. ANAPHYLACTIC NEUROGENIC SEPTIC
ANAPHYLACTIC In anaphylactic shock, an allergen has precipitated a massive immune-mediated response that liberates chemical mediators from mast cells. These chemical mediators cause bronchoconstriction, blocking air passage into and out of the lungs. In addition, the signals cause vasodilation and capillary leakage, resulting in reduced blood return to the heart.
A clinician is determining brain death in a patient. Which of the following supports the conclusion of brain death? Absence of corneal reflexes Presence of gag reflex Presence of caloric response Presence of simple motor responses only
Absence of corneal reflexes
Which of the following may be observed in a patient suffering from shock? Select all that apply. Inhibition of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

A patient falls from an outdoor deck located on the second floor of a building and injures his back. The patient is displaying signs of shock. The clinician suspects that neurogenic shock may be present. Which of the following patient assessment results would indicate neurogenic shock? Tachycardia and hypotension Bradycardia and hypotension Bronchodilation Vision and hearing impairment
Bradycardia and hypotension
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. This type of shock occurs when systolic blood pressure falls to less than 90 mm Hg despite adequate fluid volume and venous return. Baroreceptors detect the fall in blood pressure and activate the sympathetic nervous system. Decreased perfusion of the kidneys activates RAAS, which increases fluid volume within the body. CARDIOGENIC HYPOVOLEMIC ANAPHYLACTIC
CARDIOGENIC As the name implies, cardiogenic shock is related to the functioning of the heart. In this type of shock, fluid volume and other factors are sufficient; the failure to maintain blood pressure results from inadequate cardiac function.

Compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If ARDS occurs, then surfactant levels _____________. DECREASE INCREASE
DECREASE ARDS affects both type I and type II alveolar epithelial cells. Type II cells are responsible for producing surfactant. Surfactant reduces the surface tension in the alveoli. If surfactant production is disrupted, alveoli collapse, resulting in reduced gas exchange.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If abdominal compartment syndrome occurs, then blood flow through the inferior vena cava may be _____________. DECREASED INCREASED
DECREASED In abdominal compartment syndrome, pressure is increased within the abdomen. The abdomen is no longer able to stretch to accommodate any further increase in fluid or pressure. As pressure elevates in the abdominal cavity, vessels, such as the inferior vena cava, are likely to collapse. The collapse of the inferior vena cava can reduce venous return to the heart, compromising circulatory function.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If shock occurs, the kidneys experience _____________ in blood flow. DECREASES INCREASES
DECREASES In states of shock, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. The sympathetic nervous system causes vasoconstriction to the kidney. The vasoconstriction causes reduced blood flow, or hypoperfusion, of the kidney. The decrease in blood flow to the kidney can result in ischemia of the kidney. With decreased perfusion, the ability of the kidney to filter the blood is also reduced, enabling waste products to increase.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If a patient is suffering ARDS, then PO2 _____________. DECREASES INCREASES
DECREASES One of the hallmarks of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is falling oxygen levels even with oxygen administration. Normally, hypoxia stimulates respiration. In the situation of ARDS, however, the pulmonary function is so compromised, adequate oxygenation of the blood does not occur, even with increased respiration.

Epinephrine
In regard to the shock, which of the following is the correct understanding for the nurse to have in regard to renal function? The kidneys are very resilient and can withstand a state of shock for several days. Any damage to the kidneys during a state of shock is irreversible. Development of even brief episodes of shock is the number one reason for renal transplants. Fifteen minutes of shock can begin to cause dysfunction of renal tubules.
Fifteen minutes of shock can begin to cause dysfunction of renal tubules.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. This form of shock results from decreased blood volume, often as a result of trauma. Inadequate blood returns to the heart, reducing cardiac output and blood pressure. CARDIOGENIC HYPOVOLEMIC NEUROGENIC
HYPOVOLEMIC Hypovolemic shock often results from trauma causing hemorrhagic blood loss. The loss of blood prevents adequate venous return to the heart. With insufficient blood to pump, the heart is unable to maintain pressure and perfusion to the tissues.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this type of shock, fluid replacement is the key treatment. Although initial form of replacement fluid is under debate, most agree that Ringer's lactate or normal saline can be used. Blood transfusions may eventually be necessary. CARDIOGENIC HYPOVOLEMIC SEPTIC
HYPOVOLEMIC Hypovolemic shock treatment requires adequate fluid management. Discussions continue as to which fluid should be used first for replacement. However, the key is getting fluid levels to the point that adequate pressure and perfusion can be maintained. Later, the type of fluid infusion or the need for blood transfusions can be considered.
Which of the following are criteria for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)? Please select all that apply. Heart rate (HR) > 90 beats per minute Hypoventilation Hyperthermia (body temperature above 38°C) Leukocytosis (white blood cells [WBC] count greater than 12,000 per cubic millimeter) Hypothermia (body temperature less than 36°C)
Heart rate (HR) > 90 beats per minute Hyperthermia (body temperature above 38°C) Leukocytosis (white blood cells [WBC] count greater than 12,000 per cubic millimeter) Hypothermia (body temperature less than 36°C)
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. As a result of toxins and inflammatory mediators released in septic shock, vasodilation and capillary permeability _____________. DECREASE INCREASE
INCREASE Septic shock develops as the result of a severe systemic infection. Often, the infection may be due to Gram-negative bacteria that contain endotoxins. The endotoxins, along with inflammatory mediators released by white blood cells in response to infection, can disrupt circulation by causing massive vasodilation and increased capillary permeability. As fluid leaks from the capillary and blood pressure is lessened due to the vasodilation, septic shock can develop.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If DIC is present, fibrin degradation products are _____________. DECREASED INCREASED
INCREASED Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a condition in which many tiny clots form in the small vessels of the body. The activation of the clotting cascade in this manner results in clotting factors being consumed and unable for use in areas of injury, such as surgical lacerations. Thus, although clot formation is occurring, excessive bleeding can also be happening. Fibrin degradation products are formed from clot dissolution and will be elevated in DIC.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If DIC is present, then clotting times are _____________. DECREASED INCREASED
INCREASED In DIC, or disseminated intravascular coagulation, small blood clots are formed in the smaller vessels. The formation of these clots consumes available clotting factors, prolonging clotting time. The consumption of the clotting factors and the prolonged clotting time can increase the risk of bleeding.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If abdominal compartment syndrome occurs, then abdominal cavity pressure _____________. DECREASES INCREASES
INCREASES Abdominal compartment syndrome develops when pressure within the abdomen increases, usually due to fluid within the abdominal cavity. To a certain extent, the abdomen can stretch to accommodate excess fluid. Once a certain threshold has been reached, however, additional fluid results in an increase in abdominal pressure. The increased abdominal pressure may exceed the perfusion pressure.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If intestinal ischemia develops, the risk for portal bacteremia _____________. DECREASES INCREASES
INCREASES Splanchnic vasoconstriction occurs when the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated. The activation of the SNS significantly reduces blood flow to the intestines, which may result in intestinal ischemia. When the intestines suffer ischemia, intestinal contents may be released into the bloodstream. In the case of the intestines, blood from the intestines travels to the liver via the portal vein. The presence of bacteria in this portal vein increases with intestinal ischemia.
This or That? Select the best answer for each statement regarding organ failure. If the kidneys fail, then BUN _____________. DECREASES INCREASES
INCREASES When the kidneys fail, they are unable to carry out one of their primary functions, the removal of waste products, such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN), from the blood. As these substances are not removed by the kidneys, they elevate in the blood.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this stage of shock, a decrease in blood pressure is detected, which activates the sympathetic nervous system. Activation of RAAS also occurs, as the response is similar to the alarm stage of the stress response. INITIAL PROGRESSIVE IRREVERSIBLE
INITIAL In the initial stages of shock, a decrease in blood pressure is often the first sign detected by the body. The fall in blood pressure is noted by the baroreceptors which activate the sympathetic nervous system. The activation of this system counteracts the falling blood pressure by increasing the heart rate and contractility of the heart. Reduced blood pressure in the kidneys prompts the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells to release renin, activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This increases blood volume to maintain blood pressure. Stress hormones epinephrine and cortisol are released.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this stage of shock, perfusion is reduced to essential tissues, such as the brain and heart. Widespread cellular hypoxia and anaerobic metabolism also occur. INITIAL PROGRESSIVE IRREVERSIBLE
IRREVERSIBLE In the irreversible stage of shock, the body's compensations have failed to maintain adequate blood flow to the brain and heart. As these primary tissues are compromised, further compensatory and regulatory mechanisms fail. Anaerobic metabolism and cell death begin to occur.

Metabolic acidosis
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this type of shock, parasympathetic-drive bradycardia must be counteracted. Atropine, an anticholinergic agent, may be given. Vasoconstrictors and fluid may be administered to maintain blood pressure. CARDIOGENIC HYPOVOLEMIC NEUROGENIC
NEUROGENIC In neurogenic shock, decreased responsiveness of the cardiac system occurs with sympathetic nervous system disruption. Normally, the sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate to compensate for low blood pressure. If the sympathetic nervous system is not functioning properly, this does not occur as needed. Thus, treatments center on maintain adequate heart rate by blocking parasympathetic bradycardia and using vasoconstrictors to maintain blood pressure.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this type of shock, disruption of the sympathetic nervous system, as occurs in spinal cord or brain injury, causes widespread vasodilation. The body is unable to compensate for decreases in blood pressure as expected because of disruption of the sympathetic nervous system. CARDIOGENIC HYPOVOLEMIC NEUROGENIC
NEUROGENIC In neurogenic shock, disruption of the nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system, results in dysfunction of the circulatory system.
This or That? Can you differentiate between the different stages and types of shock? Based on each description, select the correct stage or type. In this stage of shock, decreased perfusion of kidney, liver, and GI tract develop. Decreased urination and buildup of waste products in the blood occurs. INITIAL PROGRESSIVE IRREVERSIBLE
PROGRESSIVE In the progressive stage of shock, the body compensates for circulatory failure by initiating vasoconstriction to tissues such as the GI tract, liver, and kidneys. The decreased perfusion of the kidneys results in reduced urine formation and decreased removal of waste products from the blood.
