The nurse is aware that the eventual outcome of angiotensin on the circulatory system is:
a. vasoconstriction.
b. release of sodium and water to be ex-creted.
c. increase in blood pressure.
d. decrease in cardiac output.
C
Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II, which causes vasoconstriction. Angiotensin then causes sodium and water to be retained, thus causing an increase in the circulating blood volume, which causes the blood pressure to rise.
