Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is in labor and is receiving epidural anesthesia. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypotension. Hypotension is the priority finding because it can lead to decreased placental perfusion, compromising fetal oxygenation. The nurse should address this promptly to ensure the well-being of both the mother and baby. Temperature elevation may indicate infection but is not as urgent as hypotension in this scenario. Leg weakness and urinary retention are common side effects of epidural anesthesia and can be managed without compromising the client's safety.
