Question 1 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the central venous pressure (CVP) of a client who has sustained multiple traumas. Which of the following interpretations of a low CVP pressure should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypovolemia. A low CVP in a client with multiple traumas indicates decreased blood volume, leading to hypovolemia. This can be due to blood loss from trauma. Other choices are incorrect: A (Fluid overload) would result in elevated CVP, C (Left ventricular failure) would typically show an elevated CVP, and D (Intracardiac shunt) would not directly affect CVP. It is crucial for the nurse to recognize hypovolemia promptly in trauma patients to initiate appropriate interventions.
