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?

The correct answer is A: Turn the client to a side-lying position. This action promotes venous return to the heart and helps increase blood pressure. When a client is hypotensive, changing their position can prevent further decrease in blood pressure and maintain perfusion to vital organs. Applying oxygen (B) may be helpful, but addressing the positioning is the priority. Massaging the fundus (C) is not indicated for hypotension related to epidural anesthesia. Assisting the client to empty their bladder (D) may be necessary for comfort but does not directly address the hypotension.
