The client receiving epidural anesthesia would be at risk for developing
due to

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"A"}

Epidural anesthesia, commonly used for pain relief during labor, works by blocking nerve impulses in the lower part of the spine, leading to a decrease in sensation and pain in that area. However, this blockade also affects the sympathetic nerves, which are responsible for regulating blood pressure. When these nerves are blocked, they can cause peripheral vasodilation, which is the widening of the blood vessels in the periphery of the body.

Peripheral vasodilation leads to a decrease in vascular resistance, which can significantly lower blood pressure. This drop in blood pressure, known as hypotension, is a common side effect of epidural anesthesia. Hypotension can reduce the blood flow to vital organs, including the placenta, which may affect fetal oxygenation if not promptly and effectively managed. This necessitates careful monitoring and management, typically involving fluid administration and sometimes the use of medications to maintain stable blood pressure during the administration of epidural anesthesia.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Capillary refill time assessment is more relevant for circulatory status and would not directly address the client's difficulty with crutch management.
B. Palpating for dependent edema would not provide information directly related to the client's ability to use crutches.

C. Assessing skin elasticity is not directly related to the client's ability to manage crutches.
D. Strength in the hands and forearms is essential for proper crutch use, as these muscles bear much of the weight while ambulating with crutches.

A. The client's need for pain medication should be determined. B. The nurse manager should be updated on the client's status. C. The client's status should be conveyed to the chaplain. D. The impending signs of death should be documented.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Ensuring comfort during the dying process is paramount in end-of-life care. Assessing and managing pain promptly supports quality of life and dignity in the client's final moments.
B. The nurse manager should be updated on the client's status. While communication with the nurse manager is important, it is not the immediate priority when a client is experiencing discomfort or pain.
C. The client's status should be conveyed to the chaplain. Involving spiritual care is important but secondary to addressing any immediate physical comfort needs of the client.
D. The impending signs of death should be documented. Documentation is important, but it is a secondary priority to the direct care and comfort needs of the client.
