Exhibits Click to indicate which interventions the nurse would include in the plan of care to support the expected outcomes of adequate epidural anesthesia on the mother and the fetus. Each column must have a least one but may have more than response option selected

Side positioning can help with pain relief and prevent hypotension, which is beneficial for both maternal and fetal well-being. Urinary drainage (B) is typically a maternal intervention to manage the effects of epidural anesthesia on bladder function. Assisting with pushing efforts is a maternal intervention that supports the mother during the second stage of labor. Administering IV fluids is an intervention for the mother to maintain hydration and blood pressure, which indirectly benefits the fetus. Monitoring blood pressure is essential for both maternal and fetal health, as stable maternal blood pressure is critical for adequate fetal perfusion.
