To obtain a good monitor tracing on a client in labor, the mother lies on her back. Suddenly, she complains of feeling light-headed and becomes diaphoretic. Which of the following should be the nurse’s first action
A. Reposition the client to her left side.
B. Immediately take the client’s blood pressure and call the physician.
C. Start oxygen at 6 L via nasal cannula.
D. Increase the IV fluids to correct the client’s dehydration.
参考答案：A
解析：This client is hypotensive because of decreased blood flow through the aorta. By turning the client to her left side, the nurse removes the weight of the uterus from the aorta and increases the maternal blood flow. Taking blood pressure, summoning the physician, starting oxygen, and increasing IV fluids aren’t necessary unless repositioning doesn’t relieve the symptoms.
