ATI RN Pharmacology 2023 IV Questions

Extract:


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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypotension. Hypotension is the priority finding because it can lead to decreased placental perfusion and compromise fetal oxygenation. The nurse should address hypotension promptly to prevent adverse outcomes for both the mother and the baby. Leg weakness is a common side effect of epidural anesthesia but is not as urgent as hypotension. Urinary retention can occur due to the epidural, but it does not pose an immediate threat to the client or baby. An elevated temperature may indicate infection but is not directly related to the epidural anesthesia.
