Our topic for today shows a hypothetical situation wherein a patient was brought to the Emergency room after an accident.
As a nurse, it's important to identify the Vital signs and which ones are presenting as grave danger that could eventually lead to SHOCK
SHOCK SHOCK NPN 205 Medical Surgical
Shock is a lifethreathening condition that results from inadequate supply or blood or cellular respiration (Wiki)
It's our body's physiological and "automatic" way of compensating with a blood loss or circulatory problem.
Remember that the most important things to do when responding to shock is:
Manage Infections
Oxygenation
Nutrition
Support
Is shock easily treated? What do you think?
