The approximation of the renormalized stress-energy tensor of the quantized massive scalar, spinor, and vector field in the Reissner- Nordstrom spacetime is constructed. It is achieved by functional differentiation of the lowest order of the Schwinger-DeWitt effective action involving coincidence limit of the Hadamard-Minakshisundaram-DeWitt-Seely coefficient a_{3}, and restricting thus obtained general formulas to spacetimes with vanishing curvature scalar. For the massive scalar field with arbitrary curvature coupling our results reproduce those obtained previously by Anderson, Hiscock, and Samuel by means of 6-th order WKB approximation.
