Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is receiving pain medication through an epidural catheter. Which assessment finding should the nurse report immediately to the physician?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Respiratory rate: 8. A respiratory rate of 8 is significantly lower than the normal range (12-20 breaths per minute) and indicates potential respiratory depression, a serious side effect of epidural pain medication. This can lead to inadequate oxygenation and potential respiratory arrest. The nurse should report this immediately to the physician for further evaluation and intervention to prevent complications.

Blood pressure within normal range (
A), pain rating of 4 (
B), and pulse rate of 80 (
C) are not immediate concerns in this scenario. They are within acceptable parameters for a postpartum client receiving pain medication. The focus should be on respiratory status due to the risk of respiratory depression with epidural analgesia.
