Question 1 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B
Shock can develop when severe blood loss, an extreme allergic reaction, or a massive infection disrupts circulation and prevents enough oxygen-rich blood from reaching the body's tissues. The gunshot victim who lost a great deal of blood is at risk of hypovolemic shock; the patient with a severe bee-sting allergy is at risk of anaphylactic shock; and the patient with a massive bacterial infection is at risk of septic shock. A broken finger or an emotionally difficult day alone does not typically cause shock.
