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



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

The correct answer is choice A, B, D and E. These are all signs and symptoms that may indicate worsening condition or preeclampsia in a client with gestational hypertension. Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy that is marked by high blood pressure and presence of proteins in urine.

Choice C is wrong because chest pain or shortness of breath are not typical symptoms of preeclampsia, but they may indicate other serious conditions such as heart problems or pulmonary edema.

If a client with gestational hypertension experiences these symptoms, they should seek immediate medical attention.

Normal ranges for blood pressure and proteinuria are:

• Blood pressure: less than 140/90 mm Hg.

• Proteinuria: less than 300 mg in a 24-hour urine collection or less than 30 mg/dL in a random urine sample.
