USMLE Step 2 CK: question 1 of 30

A 57-year-old man with alcohol-associated cirrhosis is brought to the emergency department after vomiting a large amount of bright red blood. He has no heart disease. He is alert and protecting his airway. Pulse is 118/min, and blood pressure is 90/56 mm Hg. He has scleral icterus and ascites. After 1 L of intravenous lactated Ringer solution, pulse is 88/min and blood pressure is 116/72 mm Hg, with no further hematemesis. Hemoglobin measured after the fluids is 8.3 g/dL, and INR is 1.9. Blood is crossmatched, and upper endoscopy is planned within the next few hours.
