The nurse instructs a pregnant client (G2P1) to rest in a side-lying position and avoid lying flat on her back. The nurse explains that this is to avoid vena caval syndrome, a condition which:

A. Occurs when blood pressure increases sharply with changes in position
B. Results when blood flow from the extremities is blocked or slowed
C. Is seen mainly in first pregnancies
D. May require medication if positioning does not help
