A client in labor with their second child is requesting epidural anesthesia. Consent forms have already been signed, and admission paperwork is complete. Which of the following is a priority nursing intervention before epidural anesthesia is initiated?

Place the client in the fetal position on the table and keep them steady so that they won't move during the procedure.

Prepare a sterile field with the supplies and medications that will be needed.

Review the client's medical history and laboratory results and interview them to confirm all information is accurate and up to date.

Administer a fluid bolus through the IV line to reduce the risk of hypotension.
