Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a suspected ectopic pregnancy at 8 weeks of gestation. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect to identify as consistent with the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Unilateral, cramp-like abdominal pain. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tube, causing abdominal pain. This pain is typically one-sided and cramp-like due to the stretching of the tube. Uterine enlargement (
A) would not occur in an ectopic pregnancy since the egg is not implanted in the uterus. Severe nausea and vomiting (
C) are more commonly associated with normal intrauterine pregnancies. While some vaginal bleeding (
D) may occur in ectopic pregnancies, a large amount is less likely and may indicate a more severe or ruptured ectopic.
