Problem

The nurse is caring for a G1P0 client who is admitted for an induction of labor. The client is having no contractions. Vaginal exam is 2 cm dilation, 50% effaced, and -2 station. The client tells the nurse, "I don't want any pain. I would like my epidural as soon as possible." This activity contains 5 questions. What teaching must the nurse provide to the client about the administration of an epidural block (hint...what the nursing teaching and not medical teaching which is focusing on risks and benefits of procedure)? Does the client manifest any contraindications to receiving an epidural block at this time? Should she receive an epidural block now or should she wait? Why or why not? Explain your response. The client's blood pressure falls to 90/60 after administration of the epidural. What are the appropriate nursing actions and the rationales behind each action? Explain two methods the nurse may use to position a client during the placement of an epidural. The nurse observes the client scratching her neck and chest after receiving an epidural block. What is the appropriate nursing action?
