Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the care of a client who is receiving a dopamine infusion at a low dose for treatment of shock. Which of the following findings is an expected effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased urine output. Dopamine at low doses primarily acts on dopamine receptors in the kidneys, leading to increased renal blood flow and urine output. This effect helps improve kidney perfusion and overall fluid balance in shock patients. The other options are incorrect because:
A) Dopamine typically increases heart rate, not lowers it.
B) Dopamine can increase conduction through the AV node, not decrease it.
D) Dopamine causes dilation of renal blood vessels, not vasoconstriction.
Therefore, the expected effect of dopamine infusion at a low dose for shock treatment is increased urine output due to improved renal perfusion.
