Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epidural anesthesia will cause the client to not be able to move (or feel)the legs for several hours.It is important for client safety that adequate help is available prior to this client trying to get out of bed.Securing the catheter to the leg and monitoring dressings and drainage are important for any client after surgery.Positioning the drain to the contralateral side is not needed.
