Question 2 of 9
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and has an epidural for pain control. Which of the following clinical ... effect of epidural anesthesia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Epidural anesthesia can result in some common side effects, one of which is pruritus (itching). Pruritus is a known side effect of the local anesthetics used in epidural anesthesia and is due to their effects on specialized receptors in the nervous system. Patients may experience itching, especially in the face, neck, and upper chest areas. Polyuria (increased urine output), hypertension (high blood pressure), and dry mouth are not typically associated side effects of epidural anesthesia.
Question 3 of 9
A nurse is admitting a client who is at 33 weeks of gestation and has preeclampsia with severe features. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a client with preeclampsia with severe features at 33 weeks of gestation, initiating seizure precautions is a priority nursing action. Preeclampsia with severe features places the client at an increased risk for seizures. Therefore, the nurse should ensure that seizure precautions are in place, such as maintaining a safe environment, pad the side rails of the bed, and have emergency medications and equipment readily available. Monitoring for signs and symptoms of worsening preeclampsia and impending seizures is crucial for the client's safety and well-being.

A client with acute respiratory failure (ARF) may present with which of the following manifestations? (Select one that doesn't apply.)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In acute respiratory failure (ARF), the body is not getting enough oxygen, leading to respiratory distress.

Nausea is not a typical manifestation of ARF and would not be expected in this condition.
