NCLEX- SHOCK

[Me2006]

SHOCK:

Anaphylactic - cool, pale skin, low BP, increase HR, respiratory distress, rash, swelling, anxious

Cardiogenic - cool, clammy skin, decrease LOC, rapid thready pulse, rapid shallow RR, low BP (

Hypovolemic - cool, clammy skin, low BP, rapid thready pulse, rapid shallow RR, decrease LOC

Initial septic - flushed skin, N to hi BP, rapid full bounding pulse, shallow respirations

Late septic - pale cyanotic skin, low BP, rapid weak thready pulse, rapid shallow respirations

Neurogenic - pale, warm, dry skin, low BP, low bounding PR, altered LOC

In addition:

ICP (into BP) ↑BP ↓PR, RR

SHOCK (just reverse of the ICP) ↓BP ↑PR, RR

[Me2006]

that works too!

Neurogenic shock...you will have a demarcation line (very obvious) pink above the level of injury pale (almost white) below the level of injury.

what about interventions/ outcomes for each. NCLEX would probably ask more along those lines no?

what hospital do you work in? every time I see someone in scrubs it shoots this motivational shock wave through me. It is what motivates me. What area do you work/specialize in?:icon_roll

Hi! I'm not sure if you are referring to me. But if you are, I worked in an OR specializing in ophtha surgeries before for 2 years, here in the Phils. :)

You would most likely see shock questions in the form of prioritization.

A far as interventions, think about the patho of shock, what it does to the body, and how are you going to stop/fight/attempt to reverse it?

yes, you are absolutely right
