Thirty minutes after a large-volume paracentesis removing 6.0 L, a patient with cirrhosis reports lightheadedness when turning in bed. Orders: vitals every 15 minutes for 1 hour, strict I&O, occlusive dressing, bedrest 1 hour, albumin 25% IV now, and 500 mL normal saline IV bolus only if systolic BP < 90 mmHg. Vitals: BP 94/56, HR 112, RR 18, SpO₂ 98% on room air. The dressing is dry with minimal serous strike-through. What is the nurse’s priority action?
