Choice A rationale

Dyspnea, or difficulty breathing, is a serious adverse effect of terbutaline that should be reported to the provider. Terbutaline can cause bronchospasm and pulmonary edema, leading to respiratory distress.

Choice B rationale

Headaches are a common side effect of terbutaline but are not considered a serious adverse effect that requires immediate reporting to the provider.

Choice C rationale

Nervousness is a common side effect of terbutaline and is usually mild. It does not require immediate reporting to the provider unless it becomes severe.

Choice D rationale

Tremors are a common side effect of terbutaline and are usually mild. They do not require immediate reporting to the provider unless they become severe.

Choice A rationale

A temperature of 37.8°C (100.3°F) is a low-grade fever that does not typically indicate a serious issue in the context of epidural analgesia during labor. It should be monitored, but it's not immediately concerning.

Choice B rationale

Generalized itching can be a common side effect of epidural analgesia due to the opioids used. It should be monitored and managed, but it does not typically require immediate physician notification.

Choice C rationale

Weakness of the lower extremities can be expected with epidural analgesia as it causes a loss of sensation and muscle control. This should be monitored, but it is not typically an emergency.

Choice D rationale

Fetal bradycardia is a serious concern that must be reported to the physician immediately. It can indicate fetal distress and requires urgent evaluation and intervention to ensure the well-being of the baby. .
