Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Estimation of blood loss involves visual inspection of blood on drapes, estimation of blood in suction container, inspection of blood on sponges, and weighing sponges and then subtracting the dry weight from the wet weight.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Neurogenic shock is the loss of vasomotor tone of the peripheral blood vessels. It causes pooling of blood and hypotension. The body cannot compensate by increased cardiac output; therefore, there is a high risk for congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema.
