Answer to Question 1

A
Hypotension is the primary complication associated with epidural analgesia and can lead to maternal hypoperfusion, with resulting maternal and fetal distress. Hypervolemia, hyperemia, and hyponatremia are not complications associated with epidural analgesia.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
The expected outcomes include the following: the client and family will validate their experience during labor and delivery, before leaving the birth center, the client will discuss specific strategies that she can employ to help her organize life at home to reduce stress, and the client and family will discuss warning signs of postpartum depression. The nurse conducting a newborn assessment and discussing with the husband specific signs of postpartum depression are nursing interventions and not expected outcomes.
