A client with a T4-T5 injury suspected to be in neurogenic shock.
Question 1 of 5
A client has sustained a T4-T5 injury and the nurse suspects he is in neurogenic shock. Which of the following manifestations are consistent with neurogenic shock? Select All that Apply
Correct Answer: C,E
Rationale: The correct manifestations consistent with neurogenic shock in a T4-T5 injury are bradycardia (
C) and hypotension (E). This is due to disruption of sympathetic nervous system causing vasodilation and decreased cardiac output. Bradycardia occurs due to loss of sympathetic tone on the heart. Hypotension results from vasodilation leading to decreased vascular resistance. The other choices are incorrect. Hypertension (
A) is not a typical finding in neurogenic shock. Rapidly elevating temperature (
B) is not a common symptom but can occur due to other reasons like infection. Fixed and dilated pupils (
D) are more indicative of severe brain injury rather than neurogenic shock.
