ANS: D
A cardiac output of 3 L/minute is low, indicating such conditions as heart failure, hypovolemia, or increased systemic vascular resistance. A weak, thready pulse would be consistent with this reading. Capillary refill of 2 seconds is normal. An increased temperature would not be related. A urine output of 3 mL/kg/hour is more than sufficient and does not indicate low cardiac output.
