Common Complications in Early Pregnancy Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is palpating the fundus of a pregnant woman. Which statement about palpation of the fundus is true?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because after 20 weeks gestation, the number of centimeters should approximate the number of weeks gestation. This helps in assessing the growth and development of the fetus within the uterus. The other choices do not accurately reflect the true nature of fundal palpation during pregnancy.
Question 2 of 5
During a woman's 34th week of pregnancy, she is told that she has preeclampsia. The nurse knows which statement concerning preeclampsia is true?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Untreated preeclampsia can progress to eclampsia, which can have serious consequences for both the mother and the fetus, including restriction of fetal growth. Edema is common in pregnancy but is not a specific indicator of preeclampsia. Eclampsia can occur before or after delivery, not just before.
