A client who is lying supine in her bed and reports painful contractions


Question 1 of 5

A nurse on a labor unit is admitting a client who is lying supine in her bed and reports painful contractions. The nurse determines that the contractions have a duration of 1 min and a frequency of 3 min. The nurse obtains the following vital signs: fetal heart rate 130/min, maternal heart rate 128/min, and maternal blood pressure 82/54 mm Hg. Which of the following is the first priority action for the nurse to take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Supine hypotension causes low blood pressure (82/54 mm Hg); repositioning to the left side or elevating a hip relieves vena cava compression, improving blood flow. Notification, pain meds, and bladder emptying are secondary.
