Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to titrate a continuous nitroprusside infusion for a client. The nurse should plan to titrate the infusion according to which of the following assessments?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Blood pressure. When titrating a nitroprusside infusion, monitoring blood pressure is crucial as it directly reflects the effects of the medication on vasodilation and blood flow. Adjusting the infusion based on blood pressure ensures optimal therapeutic effects while preventing adverse reactions like hypotension or hypertension. Stroke volume (
A) and cardiac output (
B) are indirect measures of blood pressure and may not provide real-time feedback for titration. Urine output (
C) is important but not as immediate or direct as blood pressure in this context.
Therefore, focusing on blood pressure allows for precise titration and better patient safety.
