All right, I'm apoplectic. Forever I have used the terms- compensated shock, uncompensated shock, and irreversible shock. These terms make sense to me. The 8th ED. Linton uses- pre-shock, shock, and end organ dysfunction. Argh! How is pre-shock, shock? I think I'm in pre-shock right now. My question is, do I try to make sense of these "new" terms for 1st year nursing students? Or translated them to the old terms?
