Study Notes

Hypovolemic Shock

The best position for hypovolemic shock is the left lateral position.

Burn Care

Applying a moisturizer to burned skin helps lock in water and relieve dryness.

Patient Care

In certain situations, patients should not be given anything by mouth; instead, they should receive IV fluids and medications.

Shock Treatment

Hypovolemic shock occurs when there is low fluid volume in the intravascular compartment.
The first treatment of choice to correct hypovolemic shock is not having the patient drink a large bottle of water.
In cases of hypovolemic shock, IV fluids are administered to increase fluid volume in the intravascular compartment.

Perfusion and Volume

Adequate perfusion is the opposite of hypovolemia.
Hypervolemia is not the same as adequate perfusion.
