Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has septic shock and is receiving dopamine by continuous IV infusion. Which of the following findings indicates that the nurse should increase the rate of infusion?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypotension. In septic shock, patients often experience severe hypotension due to systemic vasodilation. Dopamine, a vasopressor, is used to increase blood pressure by constricting blood vessels.
Therefore, if the patient's blood pressure remains low despite receiving dopamine, it indicates that the current infusion rate is not sufficient. Extravasation (
A) is a potential complication of IV therapy but does not directly indicate the need to increase the infusion rate. Headache (
C) and chest pain (
D) are common symptoms in septic shock but are not specific indicators for adjusting dopamine infusion rate.
