Question 5 of 5
What history would lead you to suspect an ectopic pregnancy in a client at 8 weeks' gestation presenting with abdominal pain and bleeding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A history of previous pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) treatment would lead to suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy in a client presenting with abdominal pain and bleeding at 8 weeks' gestation. PID can cause scarring and damage to the fallopian tubes, increasing the risk of an ectopic pregnancy where the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy can include abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and signs of shock, making it important to consider this possibility in a client with a history of PID.
