A patient with cardiogenic shock is cool and clammy and
hemodynamic monitoringindicates a high systemic
vascular resistance (SVR). Which action will the
nurseanticipate taking?
a. Increase the rate for the prescribed dopamine (Intropin)
infusion.
b. Decrease the rate for the prescribed nitroglycerin (Tridil)
infusion.

c. Decrease the rate for the prescribed 5% dextrose in
water (D5W) infusion.
d. Increase the rate for the prescribed sodium
nitroprusside (Nipride) infusion - ANSWER-D
Nitroprusside is an arterial vasodilator and will decrease
the SVR and afterload, whichwill improve cardiac output.
Changes in the D5W and nitroglycerin infusions will
notdirectly increase SVR. Increasing the dopamine will
tend to increase SVR.
Which of the following interventions should the nurse
perform in the acute care of a patient with autonomic
dysreflexia?
A) Urinary catheterization
B) Administration of benzodiazepines
C) Suctioning of the patient's upper airway
D) Placement of the patient in the Trendelenburg position -

Because the most common cause of autonomic
dysreflexia is bladder irritation, immediate catheterization

a. controlling bleeding.
b. maintenance of the airway.
c. maintenance of fluid volume.
d. relieving the patient's anxiety. - ANSWER-B
Rationale: Maintaining gas exchange has the highest
priority because oxygenation is essential for life. The
airway is compromised by the bleeding in the esophagus
and aspiration easily occurs. The other goals would also
