During her hospital admission, the laboring patient explicitly refused all pain medications and a labor epidural
Once dilated to 5 cm, the patient complains of intolerable discomfort and asks the nurse, "If I have an epidural, how will you make sure it doesn't hurt my baby?" The best response by the nurse is: 1. "We'll monitor your baby continuously so we can recognize and treat any changes that may be related to the epidural." 2. "Epidural anesthesia is very safe and there are no potential side effects that can affect your baby." 3. "We'll assess your blood pressure every 15 minutes to make sure the epidural is not having any negative effects on your baby." 4. Before your epidural is placed, we'll administer IV fluid to you in order to prevent the epidural from causing you problems."
