Which item is NOT listed under Types of Neurogenic Shock in the material?

• A. Anaphylaxis
• B. Sepsis
• C. Hypovolemic Shock
• D. Vasogenic

Answer: (C)

Neurogenic shock arises from loss of sympathetic nervous system tone after neurologic injury, leading to widespread vasodilation and low blood pressure. It’s a distributive problem driven by autonomic failure rather than a drop in circulating blood volume. Because of that, hypovolemic shock—caused by a real loss of fluid or blood in the intravascular space—is not a type of neurogenic shock. The other options describe conditions that produce systemic vasodilation and distributive effects (anaphylaxis, sepsis, vasogenic), which fit with the mechanism discussed for neurogenic shock in the material. So, the item that does not belong as a type of neurogenic shock is the one indicating low blood volume rather than autonomic loss of tone.
