69
Q
  1. Identify the signs and symptoms of shock. Explain the management for shock.
A

Answer:
Signs and symptoms of shock can develop over time. Initially, the individual may have a feeling of uneasiness or restlessness, increased respirations, and increased weakened heart rate. The skin turns pale and clammy, which usually is accompanied by profuse sweating. The lips, nail beds, and membranes of the mouth appear to be cyanotic. Thirst, weakness, nausea, and vomiting may then become apparent. During later stages, a rapid, weak pulse and labored, weakened respirations may lead to decreased blood pressure and possible unconsciousness.
The management of shock is as follows:
a. Activate emergency action plan, including summoning emergency medical services (EMS). Secure and maintain an open airway. Control any major bleeding. Monitor vital signs.
b. If a head or neck injury or a leg fracture is not suspected, elevate the feet and legs 8 to 12 in. With breathing difficulties, the individual might be more comfortable with the head and shoulders raised in a semi-reclining position. If a head injury is suspected, elevate the head and shoulders to reduce pressure on the brain. The feet also may be slightly elevated. In a suspected neck injury, keep the individual lying flat.
c. An individual who vomits or is unconscious should be placed on their side to avoid blocking the airway with any fluids. This allows the fluids to drain from the mouth.
d. Splint any fractures. This reduces shock by slowing bleeding and helps to ease pain. If the individual has a leg fracture, keep the leg level while splinting the fracture. Raise the leg only after it has been properly immobilized.
e. Maintain normal body temperature. This action may require removing any wet clothing, if possible, and covering the individual with a blanket. Keep the individual quiet and still. Avoid rough or excessive handling of the individual.
f. Do not give the individual anything by mouth.
g. Monitor vital signs every 2 to 5 minutes until EMS arrives.
