Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The exact cause of preeclampsia is unknown. However, it has been identified as a disorder of placental dysfunction leading to a syndrome of endothelial dysfunction with associated vasospasm.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The client should be placed on the side to aid in circulation to the placenta. The airway needs to be maintained to ensure oxygenation throughout the seizure. The client should not be placed in the supine position. The head of the bed should not be elevated. The client's legs should not be elevated.
