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 nitroprusside, the nurse should monitor blood pressure closely as it directly reflects the vasodilatory effects of the medication. By adjusting the infusion rate based on blood pressure readings, the nurse can maintain the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing the risk of hypotension or hypertension. Monitoring urine output (
A), cardiac output (
B), and stroke volume (
C) may provide valuable information but are not as direct indicators of the medication's effect as blood pressure.
Therefore, they are not the primary assessments to guide titration.
