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?

Massage the client's fundus

Turn the client to a side-lying position

Apply oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula

Assist the client to empty their bladder.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Rationale:

A. Massaging the client's fundus is not indicated for hypotension following epidural anesthesia.

Fundal massage is typically performed to prevent or manage uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage.

B. Turning the client to a side-lying position is a recommended intervention for hypotension following epidural anesthesia. This position helps improve venous return to the heart and can help alleviate hypotension by reducing aortocaval compression.

C. Applying oxygen via nasal cannula may be indicated if the client is experiencing respiratory distress, but it is not the primary intervention for hypotension.

D. Assisting the client to empty their bladder may be appropriate to relieve urinary retention but is not the priority intervention for hypotension.
