(CVP) 1 mmHg, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure 4
mmHg, cardiac output 3 L/minute, and systemic vascular
resistance 1,600 dynes/s/cm-5
This patient requires the administration of:
(A) a fluid bolus of 500 mL of 0.9 normal saline.
(B) dopamine at 5 mcg/kg/min.
(C) dobutamine (Dobutrex) at 10 mcg/kg/min.
(D) nitroprusside (Nipride) at 1 mcg/kg/min. - ✔ ✔ (A) a
fluid bolus of 500 mL of 0.9 normal saline.

settings need adjustment.
(B) Metabolic acidosis is worse; the FiO, needs to be
increased.

needs to be intubated.
(D) The pH is acceptable for a patient with COPD; continue
the current therapy. - ✔ ✔ (C) Alveolar hypoventilation is
getting worse; the patient needs to be intubated.
