Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Obvious bleeding suggests hypovolemic shock, trauma to the brain or spinal cord suggests neurogenic shock, inadequate cardiac output would suggest 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

Correct Answer: 2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Menses is not a contraindication for thrombolytic therapy.
Rationale 2: A history of intracranial hemorrhage is a contraindication for thrombolytic therapy.
Rationale 3: Hemophilia, a clotting disorder, is a contraindication for thrombolytic therapy.
Rationale 4: Liver disease is a contraindication for thrombolytic therapy.
Rationale 5: Peptic ulcer disease is a contraindication for thrombolytic therapy.
