Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to calculate a client's cardiac output. Which of the following data should the nurse obtain to calculate the cardiac output?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Heart rate is one of the key components in calculating cardiac output, along with stroke volume. Cardiac output is calculated by multiplying the heart rate (beats per minute) by the stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped by the heart per beat). This provides the total amount of blood the heart pumps per minute.
