Shock is usually the result of trauma. It is really important to treat the injury first.
Make certain that they are out of harms way, then don't forget about Shock. A lot of times when the injury is minor you can get the injury taken care of and then shock starts once the immediate danger passes.
Warm the person up, and start talking to them; put blankets in the dryer; use body heat; do your best to get them to think about something technical with steps that they must think through and get them to respond and think. Don't leave them alone. Talk them through it and stay with them. Get them medical attention if the situation does not resolve itself or if there are other more threatening reasons for the shock.
