Question 2

Answer 2

• Hypotension (low BP)
• tachycardia (High HR/P)
• pale cool clammy skin
• FLUID LOSS = hyperthermia (sweating), vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding (hemorrhagic) and burns

Question 3

Cardiogenic shock

Answer 3

• hypotension (low BP)
• tachycardia (high HR/P)
• pale cool clammy skin

• tachycardia (high HR/P)
• restlessness

• swelling of throat

Question 6

Neurogenic shock

Answer 6

• Hypotension (low BP)
• Bradycardia (low HR/P)
• warm, dry skin
• Caused by injury to CNS or drugs

Question 7

Septic Shock

Answer 7

• Hypotension (low BP)
• tachycardia (High HR/P)
• pink, warm, flushes skin
• caused by infection or organ damage/dysfunction

Question 8

Obstructive shock

Answer 8

• hypotension (low BP)
• tachycardia (high HR/P)
• something is obstructing the flow of blood
• caused by tension pneumothorax, pericardial tamponade, pulmonary embolism
