Answer to Question 1

D
If mitral regurgitation is present, the mean pulmonary artery occlusion pressure reading is artificially elevated because of abnormal backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during systole.

Answer to Question 2

A
Measures to facilitate the administration of volume replacement include insertion of large-bore peripheral intravenous catheters; rapid administration of prescribed fluids; and positioning the patient with the legs elevated, trunk flat, and head and shoulders above the chest.
