Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is hypotensive following the administration of epidural anesthesia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Turn the client to a side-lying position. This action helps improve venous return to the heart, which can increase blood pressure. Placing the client on their side can prevent compression of the vena cava by the uterus, reducing hypotension. Options B and D are not directly related to managing hypotension. Option C is incorrect as massaging the fundus is typically done postpartum to prevent hemorrhage.
