A client in labor who has had epidural anesthesia for pain relief
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client in labor who has had epidural anesthesia for pain relief. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a complication from the epidural block?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypotension. Epidural anesthesia can cause vasodilation, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. This is a common complication that nurses should monitor for in clients with epidural blocks. Hypotension can result in decreased perfusion to the placenta and fetus, potentially leading to fetal distress. The other options are not typically associated with epidural anesthesia. Vomiting and tachycardia may occur due to labor pain or other factors, but not directly related to the epidural block. Respiratory depression is a more common side effect of opioid medications, not typically seen with epidural anesthesia.
