What approach might a physician take

to lower a patient’s cardiac preload?

On report, you are told your patient’s CVP

is 2 mmHg and the SBP is 70 mmHg.

In a steady state, venous return will be
greater than cardiac output when:
a) Blood volume is higher than normal
b) Cardiac sympathetic activity is lower than normal
c) Peripheral venous pressure is higher than normal
d) Never
