Technician in Surgery TS-C Practice Test

Answer: C-When a patient develops hypovolemia, the tech should consider inserting a central venous pressure line to avoid overloading the circulatory system while replacing fluids. Hypovolemia requires increased fluid and electrolytes, which if given too quickly, can put pressure on the circulatory system. The patient should not have more NaCl; additionally, furosemide works as a diuretic, and will continue to deplete volume.
