Question 5 of 5
A patient with cardiogenic shock has the following vital signs: BP 102/50, pulse 128, respirations 28. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is increased and cardiac output is low. The nurse will anticipate an order for which medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B as furosemide reduces elevated PAWP (preload) in cardiogenic shock, improving output. Albumin (choice A) increases preload, epinephrine (choice C) stresses the heart, and hydrocortisone (choice D) targets other shocks. This aligns with NCLEX Physiological Integrity, anticipating diuretics to manage fluid overload in heart failure.
