Which of the following statements regarding prehospital treatment of cardiogenic shock is most correct?

Administer a 1000ml crystallised bolus if the patients lungs are clear

Dopamine influences greater than 10mcg kg often cause bradycardia

Noradrenaline is the vasopressor of choice for prehospital blood pressure support

Prolonged efforts to stabilise the patient in the prehospital environment are not recommended

Cardiogenic shock would most likely develop from

Localised myocardial ischaemia

Any condition that causes an increased preload

Decompensated congestive heart failure

Following the primary survey the next assessment priority for a patient with stroke symptoms is:

Blood pressure

ECG

Temperature

Blood glucose level

Which of the following statements regarding anaemia is most correct

Anaemia results in a decreased ability of the blood to carry oxygen

Patients with anaemia have a chronically low level of haemoglobin

Anaemia is a condition caused exclusively by a deficiency of iron

Anaemic patients typically present with flushed skin and tachycardia

Hypoperfusion

Low cardiac output

An increase in preload

Decreased coronary perfusion

Children experience hypotension more quickly than adults do

Hypotension is a classic sign of shock, but it occurs late

If hypotension is present, the patient is in irreversible shock

Hypotension often occurs before tachycardia in severe shock
