AIRWAY: IS IT OPEN? MINIMIZE NECK MOVEMENTS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE; APPLY CERVICAL COLLAR IF AVAILABLE.
2 WAYS IN OPENING THE AIRWAY
**HEAD TILT – CHIN LIFT MANEUVER **JAW THRUST MANEUVER
BREATHING: IS THE VICTIM BREATHING? CHECK ( 3 – 5 SEC.) L ---- LOOK, L ---- LISTEN, F ---- FEEL.

CIRCULATIONIS THERE A PALPABLE CAROTID PULSE
FOR ADULT AND BRACHIAL PULSE FOR CHILD AND INFANT. CHECK ( 10 SEC. )
DISABILITY IS THERE INJURY TO THE NERVOUS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEMS? STABILIZE
“C”- SPINE.

EXPOSURE: REMOVE VICTIM FROM OFFENDING ENVIRONMENT. IF NECESSARY, PLACE TENT OVER VICTIM.
HEMORRHAGE : LOOK FOR SEVERE BLOOD LOSS, CSF LEAK.
SPINALCORD INJURY : CHECK FOR THE SENSORY RESPONSE, AND OBVIOUS DEFORMITY ON THE SPINE.

Shock is a critical physical condition due to failure of the circulatory
system to maintain adequate blood flow in the body and
ceases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs.
BASIC CAUSES OF SHOCK
. Pump-failure Relative Hypovolemia . Hypovolemia

THREE STAGES OF SHOCK THE COMPENSATORY STAGE OF SHOCK BP normal limits. shunted from the kidney, skin
and GIT to the vital organs- brain, liver. PROGRESSIVE STAGE OF SHOCK regulate blood pressure can no longer
compensate and the mean arterial The overworked heart becomes dysfunctional.
IRREVERSIBLE STAGE OF SHOCK there is severe organ damage that patients do not
respond anymore to treatment. Survival is almost impossible
GILBERT T. SALACUP RN,MSN

TYPES OF SHOCK
1. CARDIOGENIC – HEART STOP TO PUMP DUE TO HEART DSE.
2. ANAPHYLACTIC --- SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION
3. HYPOVOLEMIC --- SEVERE FLUID LOSS
4. PSYCHOGENIC --- CAUSE BY ANXIETY, FEARS, ALTERED ADAPTATION IN TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE
5. NEUROGENIC --- CAUSE BY SPINAL FRACTURE OR DISLOCATION
6. METABOLIC --- LOSS OF BODY FLUIDS
7. RESPIRATORY ---- AIR WAY OBSTRUCTION AND HYPERVENTILATION
8. SEPTIC --- SEVERE BACTERIAL INFECTION

DRUGS USED TO TREAT SHOCKC – Corticostiroids – use in septic shock protect cellmembranes and
decrease inflammatory response to stress
A – Antibiotics –infectious process related to septic shock
N - Norephineprine (levophed) improve cardiac contractility and cardiac output potent vasoconstrictor
D – Dopamine (Intropin) perfusion of kidneys &
urine output
D - Dobutamine (Dobutrex) increase myocardial contractility, vasodilator.
D - Digitalis preparation improve cardiac performance
I - Isoproterenol (Isuprel)increase myocardial contractility
S - Sodium Nitropusside Vasodilator, increase cardiac
output, use in cardiogenic shock, and hypertensive emergency.

CAUSED BY PHYSICAL MEANS, WITH DISRUPTION
OF THE NORMAL CONTINUITY OF STRUCTURES.

CLOSED WOUND
Cause by a damage of a tissue with in the layer of the skins and to the layer of the skin without breaking the continuity of the skin.
Contusions (more commonly known as a bruise)
caused by blunt forc trauma that damages tissue under the skin.
Hematoma- (also called a blood tumor)
caused by damage to a blood vessel that in turn causes blood to collect under the skin.
Crushing Injuries caused by a great or extreme amount of force applied over
a long period of tissue

NURSING MANAGEMENT
I – ICE APPLICATION (10 – 15 MIN )

Make a checklist of all the things to review. Make a schedule of this checklist. Don’t overkill. Do not give so much time on one
area while forgetting the others. Don’t just use your favorite area, give equal time even on those that you feel are not coming out of exam.
Organize your study time by reviewing on the basic first, then at the last part of your schedule, make sure you test yourself by answering exam question.
Allow much flexible to accommodate your other important activities.
I always help to remove all distraction like cell phones and television. Boyfriends and girlfriends may schedule later.

4. let’s dissects the Monkey. Read the question carefully from the first word
to the last word. Remember not to miss out on key words that would lead you to what the question is really asking for.
look for hints…
-“most, first, best, initial”- indicate you must establish priorities.
-“further teaching is necessary”- answer will contain incorrect information.
-“understand the teaching”- answer will be correct information.
3. rephrase the question in your own words so that it can be answered w/a ”yes” or a “no”, or w/ a specific bit of information.
-“what”.”when”, “why”

HOW TO SCORE POINTS
Step1. Read the question. Spend more time on reading the question. learn to rephrase. Underline the key words to increase tour understanding on the important aspect of the problem.
Step2: after reading the question, stop. Before looking at the options, think of an answer.
Step3: selection pass. In selecting the correct answer, read each option carefully and do this.
Step 3.1 cover all answer choices except one.

Step3.2 read answer choices 1. then repeat the REWORDED QUESTION after
reading answer choice. As yourself… “does this answer the REWORDED QUESTION.
If it does not – eliminate Not sure- leave the answer choice for consideration
Step 3.3 repeat the above process w/ each remaining answer choices.

REWORDED QUESTION. STEP 3.6 ask yourself “ w/c answer choices
best answer the question?: THAT IS YOUR ANSWER!!! R E M E M B E R ! ! !1. eliminate only what you know is wrong.

Look for Qualifiers“Never, always, all, none” Most often absolute terms, generalizations. Do not
choose these options.
Look for contrasting options.Usually contrasting option lead you to correct answer. 1 of this is the right answer.
Example.Mr. bean is suffering from gastric ulcer. As a nurse, you have to
prevent dumping syndrome. Which of the ff. preventive measures should noy be taken?
a. allow him to lie down after eating b. avoid giving fluids after meal. c. allow him to talk after eating. d. serve dry meals only.

Choices a & c are contrasting option, thus one of these may be the correct option, eliminating b& d. the question may be rephrase to” what is the best position after meals to prevent dumping syndrome?” the answer is… a. allow him to lie down after meal, but the question is asking for the measure that should not be advice, thus the answer is… c
3. PRIORITIES. The board exam is testing your ability to decide your priorities in patient care. The most common bases of prioritization are:
a. ABC’s – airway, breathing & circulationb. Safety and protection- decide what will cause the least
amount of harm. DO NO HARM!!! c. Rights of patient- will of the patient is the basis for action.
We are safeguards and advocates of the patient well being.d. Assessment comes before any intervention.e. The less invasive procedures first before invasive one.f. Remember MASLOW!!! Physiologic needs comes as a
priorityg. Patient first before equipment.

4. NORMALS-decide if the assessment data being presented in the question is within normal range. If the answer is yes, you just have to look for the option that will not need further intervention..
only continue monitoring or assessment. If the answer is otherwise ,then go ahead and rephrase the question…and follow the steps in answering a question. Familiarize yourself with the values will be much easier than memorizing. Post them on your walls where you see them everyday.

5. Always be therapeutic. Therapeutic simply means choosing the options that will
solicit information from the patients and make him/her express his feelings. Usually, we eliminate options that will:
6. It is your business not others Eliminate choices that what doctors midwife or social
workers do
7. Do every thing by the book.Every thing is taken from the books, based on
ideal settings.
