Answer to Question 1

D
A pneumopericardium will cause reduced cardiac output, decreased stroke volume, and systemic hypotension.

Answer to Question 2

B
Giving mannitol (and albumin) will increase oncotic pressure. A low-salt diet will decrease fluid retention to increase hydrostatic pressure. Morphine sulfate acts as a vasodilator.
