A nurse is assessing a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Report of blurred vision. Blurred vision can be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure. The nurse should report this finding to the provider immediately for further evaluation and management to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby. Urinary frequency (choice A) and Braxton Hicks contractions (choice B) are common in late pregnancy and typically not concerning. Painless vaginal spotting (choice D) can be normal in some cases but should still be reported to the provider for assessment.
