Warning signs of stroke include sudden weakness, numbness, paralysis, loss of speech, confusion, dizziness, unsteadiness, and loss of balance-the key word is sudden. Family history and past medical history can be indicators for risk, but they are not warning signs of stroke. Gradual onset of symptoms is not indicative of a stroke.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: C
In intermediate or progressive hemorrhagic shock, there is a change from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism due to cellular hypoxia from decreased perfusion. This stage of shock occurs when there is sustained decrease of 20 mmHg or more of the client's MAP and a blood loss of 35 to 50. The acid by-products of anaerobic metabolism causes an increase, not decrease, in hydrostatic pressure within the capillary, shifting fluid into the interstitial space.
