Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Obvious bleeding suggests hypovolemic shock; trauma to the brain or spinal cord suggests neurogenic shock; inadequate cardiac output suggests cardiogenic shock; a recent infection may indicate septic shock; and a history of allergies with a sudden onset of symptoms may suggest anaphylactic shock. Kidney failure is not a type of shock. Respiratory failure is not a type of shock. Liver failure is not a type of shock.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D, E

Manifestations of early hypovolemic shock include a slight increase in pulse, normal respirations, prolonged capillary refill time, and normal blood pressure. A weak rapid pulse is a characteristic of the irreversible stage of hypovolemic shock.
