Understanding Shock: Types and Identification

What is the primary focus of the final lesson in the shock series?

• Identifying different types of shock

• Treatment of shock

• History of shock research

• Introduction to shock

In hypovolemic shock, what happens to the heart rate as the body tries to compensate?

• It fluctuates unpredictably

• It increases significantly

• It remains unchanged

• It decreases significantly

What is a common skin condition observed in patients with hypovolemic shock?

• Cyanotic and dry

• Cold and clammy

• Warm and dry

• Pale and moist

What is a key characteristic of cardiogenic shock regarding systemic vascular resistance?

• It decreases significantly

• It remains unchanged

• It increases, making it harder for the heart to pump

• It fluctuates unpredictably

In cardiogenic shock, what happens to the preload indicators?

• They fluctuate unpredictably

• They decrease significantly

• They remain unchanged

• They increase due to blood backing up

In neurogenic shock, what happens to the patient's skin condition?

• Cyanotic and moist

• Pale and sweaty

• Warm and dry

• Cold and clammy

Which type of shock is characterized by a loss of sympathetic innervation leading to decreased heart rate?

• Neurogenic shock

• Cardiogenic shock

• Hypovolemic shock

• Septic shock

What is the primary cause of decreased venous oxygen saturation in neurogenic shock?

• Massive vasodilation

• Increased cardiac output

• Increased systemic vascular resistance

• Decreased heart rate

What is a significant change in systemic vascular resistance during septic shock?

• It increases significantly

• It fluctuates unpredictably

• It decreases significantly

• It remains unchanged

During septic shock, what initial change occurs in cardiac output?

• It fluctuates unpredictably

• It remains unchanged

• It decreases significantly

• It initially increases then decreases
