Which of the following signs and symptoms may indicate worsening condition or preeclampsia in a client with gestational hypertension?



Correct Answer: ["B","D","E"]

The correct answer is choice B, D and E. These are signs and symptoms of preeclampsia, a serious complication of gestational hypertension that can affect the mother and the baby. Preeclampsia is marked by high blood pressure and protein in urine or other signs of organ damage.

Choice A is wrong because swelling of the face, hands or feet is a common symptom of pregnancy and does not necessarily indicate preeclampsia. However, sudden or severe swelling can be a warning sign and should be checked by a healthcare provider.

Choice C is wrong because severe headache is a symptom of preeclampsia, not gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension is high blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy and does not have protein in urine or other signs of organ damage.

Some normal ranges for blood pressure during pregnancy are:

• Systolic (top number): less than 140 mm Hg

• Diastolic (bottom number): less than 90 mm Hg

Some normal ranges for protein in urine during pregnancy are:

• Less than 300 mg per 24 hours

• Less than 0.3 g per liter
