Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A high CVP, not a low CVP, is typically associated with fluid overload.
B. A low CVP indicates decreased fluid volume, which is characteristic of hypovolemia. This is particularly relevant to a patient with multiple traumas who may have significant blood loss.
C. While left ventricular failure can contribute to hemodynamic instability, it's not directly correlated with a low CVP.
D. This would affect the oxygenation status of the blood, rather than the overall blood volume and CVP.

A. Lorazepam B. Atenolol C. Phenytoin D. Levetiracetam

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used as the first-line treatment for status epilepticus. It rapidly terminates seizures.
B. A beta-blocker, atenolol is used for conditions like hypertension and angina, not for seizures.
C. While phenytoin is an anti-seizure medication, it has a slower onset of action compared to lorazepam. It's used as a second-line agent in status epilepticus.
D. Levetiracetam is an anti-epileptic drug, but not the first choice for acute seizure management like status epilepticus.
