Unless you know what they are in shock from, don't give acasualty anything by mouth. Shock can occur from several things, so you need to know why they are in shock. If it's a simple case of fainting due to excitement or low blood sugar then water in small quantities is fine. If it's due to bleeding and trauma from impact IE car accident etc. you want to avoid giving them anything until internal injuries are ruled out.
