What is the treatment for hypotension caused by vasodilator overdose?

  1. Administration of intravenous fluids and beta-blockers

  2. Immediate surgery

  3. High doses of vitamin C

  4. Cold compresses to the forehead

The correct answer is: Administration of intravenous fluids and beta-blockers

The administration of intravenous fluids and beta-blockers is the appropriate treatment for hypotension caused by vasodilator overdose because these medications will help increase blood volume and decrease the effects of the vasodilator. Surgery, high doses of vitamin C, and cold compresses to the forehead are not effective treatments for vasodilator overdose. Surgery is not necessary for this condition, vitamin C will not address the root cause of the hypotension, and cold compresses will not have a significant impact on blood pressure.
