Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving dopamine IV to treat left ventricular failure. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is having a therapeutic effect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Systolic blood pressure is increased. Dopamine is a medication commonly used to treat left ventricular failure by increasing cardiac output and improving blood pressure. When dopamine is effective, it should lead to an increase in systolic blood pressure as it helps to improve the heart's pumping ability. This indicates that the medication is improving the client's condition.
Other choices are incorrect because a reduction in cardiac output (
A) would not be indicative of therapeutic effect, an increased apical heart rate (
C) could indicate increased workload on the heart rather than therapeutic effect, and reduced urine output (
D) could signal inadequate perfusion rather than improvement.
