Essential Interventions: Monitor fetal heart rate Administer ampicillin IV Place client in left lateral position Request a prescription for ephedrine Contraindicated Intervention: Decrease the IV flow rate Rationale: Monitor fetal heart rate (Essential): Epidural anesthesia can cause maternal hypotension, leading to decreased uteroplacental perfusion. Continuous fetal heart rate monitoring ensures the fetus is tolerating labor well. Administer ampicillin IV (Essential): The client tested positive for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) at 37 weeks, requiring prophylactic IV antibiotic administration during labor to prevent neonatal infection. Place client in left lateral position (Essential): This position improves venous return, enhances placental perfusion, and prevents hypotension caused by epidural anesthesia. Request a prescription for ephedrine (Essential): Epidural anesthesia can cause maternal hypotension, and ephedrine is a vasopressor that can help restore blood pressure if needed. Decrease the IV flow rate (Contraindicated): IV fluids should be maintained or increased to prevent hypotension, a common side effect of epidural anesthesia. Reducing the IV rate could exacerbate hypotension and fetal distress.
