CRNA NCE · Sample question

A 68-year-old patient under general anesthesia is mechanically ventilated after induction. Five minutes after PEEP is increased from 5 to 15 cm H2O, BP falls from 128/76 to 82/48 mm Hg, heart rate rises to 112/min, SpO2 is 99%, and end-tidal CO2 decreases. Breath sounds are bilateral and the ECG shows sinus tachycardia. As the anesthesia provider, which priority action best addresses the likely cardiac output determinant?
