Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should assess for hypertension in a client who is being administered dobutamine and beta-adrenergic blocking drugs. Combining dobutamine and beta-adrenergic blocking drugs does not increase the risk of bradycardia, depression, or dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse must immediately report a fall in systolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg. Epinephrine should raise the blood pressure, so a continued low systolic pressure indicates the medication has not been effective. A diastolic blood pressure of 75 mm Hg, a pulse rate of 60 beats/min, and a temperature reading of 97.6 F are normal and need not be reported immediately.
