🔍 Key Concepts

• Traumatic (hypovolemic) shock is usually related to blood or fluid loss • Basic goals of shock treatment: maintain circulation and preserve blood flow to vital organs • Body temperature and victim position are important in treating shock

💭 Think About

• Think about what the body is lacking during traumatic shock and which option best helps restore or support that missing element • Consider which choice would improve blood flow to the brain and heart rather than make the heart work harder • Ask yourself which option is commonly associated with treating heat emergencies versus blood‑loss emergencies

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly helps replace or support lost volume in the circulatory system • Eliminate any choices that would cool the body further when shock victims usually need to be kept warm • Eliminate any option that puts the victim in a position that reduces blood flow to the brain during shock
