Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hypertension and proteinuria are the most common signs of gestational hypertension. Hemolysis, glycosuria, and thrombocytopenia are associated with other disorders that may or may not be related to gestational hypertension. Although headaches and rapid weight gain (edema) may be associated with gestational hypertension, they are not the earliest nor the most common signs and symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a coagulation defect that prevents blood from clotting. It can occur with abruptio placentae, hydatidiform mole, pregnancy-induced hypertension, hemorrhagic shock, septic shock, and retained dead fetus.
