A nurse is titrаting а cоntinuоus infusiоn of intrаvenous norepinephrine for a patient with septic shock. The current dose is 0.05 mcg/kg/min, and the patient's mean arterial pressure (MAP) remains below the target of 65 mmHg. The healthcare provider orders to increase the dose by 0.02 mcg/kg/min every 10 minutes until the MAP is above 65 mmHg. After the first titration, the patient’s MAP is still below 65 mmHg. What should the nurse do next?
