Answer to Question 1

2. Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Rationale:
Risk factors for the development of eclampsia include diabetes mellitus. The other choices will not predispose the client to developing eclampsia.

Answer to Question 2

1. Call a urologist immediately

Rationale:
Hydroureter is a complication that occurs when a renal calculus moves into the ureter and blocks and dilates the ureter. Symptoms include severe pain and spasms, nausea, vomiting, and diminished volume of urine. Hydroureter is a medical emergency that can lead to shock, infection, and subsequent impaired renal function; medical collaboration should be initiated immediately. All other options, while important to complete, would not be appropriate in an emergency situation.
