ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

---

A) Maintain hypovolemia and low central venous pressure

This answer is incorrect.

This patient has suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage. If a patient survives the initial event, the two most feared complications are rebleeding and vasospasm. In this patient, the risk of rebleed has been reduced by intravascular coiling of the causative aneurysm. The patient remains at risk for vasospasm, which can result in infarction and death. As a preventive measure, the patient should be maintained hypervolemic, with an elevated CVP.  (See References)
