The nurse ensures several safety measures are in place for the client receiving epidural analgesia. Emergency supplies such as oxygen and naloxone are kept at the bedside. The nurse covers any injection ports on the epidural tubing with tape so they cannot be used. The nurse also clearly labels the tubing close to the insertion site on the client and to the pump with medication. The nurse tapes the tubing securely to the client, ensuring that there is no tension on the line. Only preservative-free solutions are used to prevent tissue injury. The nurse covers the insertion site with a transparent dressing to facilitate site monitoring.
