Correct Answer: A (Hypotension)


Rationale:
1. Dopamine is a vasopressor used to treat hypotension in septic shock.
2. Hypotension is a common sign of septic shock and indicates inadequate tissue perfusion.
3. Increasing the rate of dopamine infusion can help improve blood pressure and perfusion.
4. Chest pain, extravasation, and headache are not direct indications to increase dopamine infusion rate.

Summary:
- Chest pain may indicate other cardiac issues, not necessarily related to dopamine infusion.
- Extravasation requires immediate attention but does not necessitate increasing dopamine rate.
- Headache is not a typical sign of dopamine infusion complications in septic shock.
