Passage / Scenario
A client who is at 15 weeks of gestation during a routine prenatal visit.Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a potential complication of pregnancy? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
D,E,F
Rationale
The correct answers are D (Weight), E (Heart rate), and F (Urine-specific gravity). Weight gain outside the recommended range can indicate conditions like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. Abnormal heart rate may suggest cardiac issues or preeclampsia. Changes in urine-specific gravity can show dehydration or kidney problems. Choices A, B, C, and G are not direct indicators of potential pregnancy complications, though they can be affected by such complications indirectly.
