Multiple Choice

Read the statements below and determine to which stage of shock they belong: 'The patient exhibits rapid heart rate, cool and clammy skin, and decreased urine output, but blood pressure remains within normal limits.' Which stage of shock is described?

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of shock: Shock is a life-threatening condition where the circulatory system fails to deliver adequate oxygen and nutrients to tissues, leading to cellular and organ dysfunction.

Review the stages of shock: The stages include the compensated (non-progressive) stage, progressive stage, irreversible stage, and recovery stage. Each stage has distinct physiological characteristics.

Analyze the symptoms provided: Rapid heart rate (tachycardia), cool and clammy skin, decreased urine output, and normal blood pressure are indicative of the body's compensatory mechanisms trying to maintain perfusion despite reduced blood flow.

Match the symptoms to the stages: In the compensated (non-progressive) stage, the body activates mechanisms like increased heart rate and vasoconstriction to maintain blood pressure and perfusion to vital organs. Blood pressure remains normal in this stage.

Conclude that the described symptoms align with the compensated (non-progressive) stage, as the body is actively compensating to prevent progression to more severe stages of shock.
