When comparing pressures obtained from the central venous pressure (CVP) versus pressures obtained from the pulmonary arterial pressure, the nurse knows that:
1. The CVP is expected to be a low pressure while the PAP is the highest pressure obtained in the pulmonary artery catheter. 2. The CVP is expected to be the highest pressure obtained in the pulmonary artery catheter while the PAP is expected to be a low pressure. 3. The CVP and the PAP pressures cannot be compared because these pressures are based on individual patients and their conditions. 4. The individual pressures obtained in the CVP and the PAP are not relevant. The pressure trends guide patient care.
