According to the National Institute of Health, atrial fibrillation occurs if rapid, disorganized electrical signals causing the

heart's two upper chambers, called the atria, to fibrillate. The term "fibrillate" means to contract very fast and irregularly. In atrial fibrilation, blood pools in the atria. It isn't pumped completely into the heart's two lower chambers, called the ventricles. As a result, the heart's upper and lower chambers don't work together as they should.
Based on the passage above, how will atrial fibrillation affect blood pressure?

It will lower blood pressure because less blood is pumped per beat.
It will increase blood pressure because the heart is contracting faster.
It will increase blood pressure because the atria fill fully with blood.
It will lower blood pressure because blood volume drops in the atria.

The nurse observes a patient in the progressive stage of shock with blood in the nasogastric tube and when connected to suction.
7nadin3 [17]

Especially in patients with coagulopathy, trauma to the GI mucosa during NG tube insertion may cause GI bleeding. Due to ongoing irritation and pressure necrosis, prolonged use of an NG tube might result in the development of ulcers.

A disturbance of the sympathetic nervous system that alters the tone of the blood vessels is referred to as neurogenic shock. Without sympathetic tone, blood cannot adequately circulate throughout the body, which causes temperature dysregulation, a reduced heart rate, and low blood pressure.

<h3>What does the word "shock" mean ?</h3>

Shock, a dangerous condition, could be brought on by the abrupt drop in blood flow throughout the body. Shock can be brought on by trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, allergies, severe illnesses, poisoning, severe burns, and other situations. A person in shock doesn't get enough blood or oxygen to their organs.

  • The four basic types of shock are obstructive, cardiogenic, hypovolemic, and distributive shock.
