A patient has an open femur fracture with an active arterial bleed. Your first step is to:
Stop the life-threatening bleed with a tourniquet
Wrap the patient in a warm blanket
Give the patient 100% oxygen via non-rebreather mask at 15LPM
Elevate the patient's feet
Start fluid resuscitation
Distributive shock is caused by
The "container" getting larger but the amount of "fluid" remaining the same, causing hypoperfusion
The "fluid" draining out of the "container," causing hypoperfusion
Diarrhea and vomiting
An arterial bleed
Treatment for shock requires
Fluid resuscitation, oxygen, and warming the patient
Defibrillation, oxygen, and elevating the patient's head
Refrigerated fluid resuscitation, laying the patient prone, and massaging the legs
Jumping jacks, oral rehydration solution, blankets
A patient that has lost 500mL of blood is said to be in
Decompensated shock
Irreversible shock
Hematological shock
Compensated shock
The "triangle of death" is composed of
Coagulopathy, metabolic acidosis, and hypothermia
Erythema, flatulence, and sweating
Chills, fever, and vomiting
Muffled heart sounds, hypotension, and jugular vein distension
