Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
With severe preeclampsia, hospitalization is required so that bed rest can be enforced and the patient can be observed more closely. A patient with severe preeclampsia is admitted to a private room so that rest is undisturbed. Noises such as a baby crying, elevator doors opening and closing, and conversation from the nurse's station is sufficient to trigger a seizure. A private room will help reduce the likelihood of seizure development.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Manifestations of gestational hypertension include elevated blood pressure, edema, and proteinuria. Absence of protein in the urine indicates that treatment has been successful. Increased perspiration is not a manifestation of gestational hypertension. A weight gain of 1 lb/week in the patient who is in the third trimester of pregnancy is an indication of ongoing edema. A diastolic blood pressure that is 20 mmHg over normal level is an indication of ongoing hypertension.
