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, dopamine is used to increase blood pressure by improving cardiac output. Hypotension indicates that the current rate of infusion is not effectively addressing the low blood pressure, so increasing the infusion rate would help improve perfusion to vital organs. Extravasation (choice
A) would indicate a need to stop the infusion, while headache (choice
C) and chest pain (choice
D) are not direct indicators of the effectiveness of the dopamine infusion in treating hypotension in septic shock.
