25
During the compensatory stage of shock what does acidosis occur from?
Anaerobic metabolism
26
During the compensatory stage of shock: what increases edge to acidosis and what may it cause?
Respiratory rate increases. | May cause compensatory respiratory alkalosis
27
In the compensatory stage of shock what may occur to the patients mental state?
They may become confused
28
During the compensatory stage of shock: what should the nurse report in terms of blood pressure and pulse pressure?
A BP of 90 or less | A drop of 40 or greater in narrowing pulse pressure
29
During the Progressive Stage of Shock mechanisms that regulate what can no longer compensate?
BP
30
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: what decreases due to the inability for the mechanisms that regulate BP no longer being able to compensate?
BP and MAP
31
During the Progressive stage of shock what do all of the organs suffer from?
Hypoperfusion
32
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: What does inadequate perfusion of the heart lead to?
Dysrhythmias and cardiac ischemia
33
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: what does the furthering of vasoconstriction compromise?
Cellular perfusion
34
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: Why would the patients mental status further deteriorate?
From decreased cerebral perfusion
35
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: What happens to the patient due to decreased cerebral perfusion?
They become lethargic or loses consciousness
36
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: When the lungs begin to fail what begins to occur to the lungs?
Pulmonary edema, alveoli collapse, increased CO2 levels, and the respirations become rapid and shallow.
37
During the Progressive stage of shock: What does MAP fall below and what can no longer be maintained?
It falls below 70 and GFR cannot be maintained
38
During the Progressive Stage of Shock: What may occur are a complication of shock?
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
39
If the progressive stage of shock happens where does the patient need to be transferred to?
ICU
40
What type of extremes does the nurse need to prevent if they are in the progressive stage of shock?
Prevent temperature extremes
41
During irreversible shock: The organ damage becomes...
Severe
42
When is the judgement that shock is in the irreversible stage made?
Only in retrospect
43
``` Which stage of shock is characterized by normal blood pressure? A. Initial B. Compensatory C. Progressive D. Irreversible ```
B. Compensatory
44
What are the diagnostic test used to identify all types of shock?
CBC CMP ABG Urine specific gravity, osmolarity
45
What medication do you give to a patient with hypovolemic shock?
Vasoactive medications
46
What type of replacement needs to be give to a patient with hypovolemic shock?
Fluid and blood replacement
47
How do you need to place the bed when a patient is in shock?
Modified trendelenburg; the patients bed below the hips must be raised about the head.
48
In terms of fluid replacement for someone in shock: what is the ratio rules associated with crystalloids?
3:1 rule
49
What are the complications of fluid replacement?
Fluid overload and pulmonary edema
50
What is the prototype drug for fluid replacement?
Normal serum albumin
51
What is the primary use of normal serum albumin?
Restoration of plasma volume and blood proteins
52
What is the adverse effect of normal serum albumin?
Protein overload
53
How often should vital signs be taken when administering vasoactive medications?
Every 15 minutes or more often
54
When is vasoactive medications administered?
When fluid therapy alone does not maintain MAP.
55
What does vasoactive medications do?
They stimulate the SNS and support hemodynamics status.
56
How are vasoactive medications administered?
Through a central line
57
What is the prototype drug for vasoconstrictors?
Epinephrine
58
What are the advantages of epinephrine?
Increases blood pressure by vasoconstriction, increases cardiac contraction and cardiac output.
59
What are the disadvantages of the vasoconstrictors?
Increase after load which increases cardiac workload | Compromise perfusion to the skin, kidneys, lungs, and GI tract
60
What do inotropic drugs for shock do?
Increase the strength of myocardial contraction, increase cardiac output
61
What is the disadvantage of inotropic drugs for shock?
Increases O2 demand.
62
What are the adverse effects of inotropic drugs?
Dysrhythmias, hypertension, gangrene
63
What does nutritional therapy have to do with the treatment of shock?
Nutritional support need to meet increased metabolic, energy requirements to prevent further catabolism.
64
True or false: | The most common colloid solution used to treat hypovolemic shock is 5% albumin?
True
65
``` When caring for a patient in hypovolemic shock who is receiving large volumes of IV isotonic fluid, the nurse should monitor for symptoms of: A. Hyperthermia B. Pain C. Pulmonary edema D. Tachycardia ```
C. Pulmonary edema
