You receive orders to starte Nipride and Dobutamine in your patient with end-stage cardiomyopathy.
How will this treatment regimen affect cardiac output?

>>CORRECT ANS>>For 8-10 minutes
A central venous pressure CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
>>CORRECT ANS>>Right atrium
An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
>>CORRECT ANS>>Right heart failure
The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the:
