Feedback 1. The heart rate increases are a concern, but the rapidly changing blood pressure is the priority. 2. Maintaining strict I/O is important for the measuring of edema, but this takes several hours. The blood pressure changes rapidly and can cause major issues. 3. Blood pressure can change rapidly in ARF, causing a hypertension crisis. 4. Edema should be monitored, but it changes gradually, unlike blood pressure. |
