Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The rise in blood pressure could be caused by fluid retention as seen in preeclampsia. The client would be at risk for fluid volume excess. The other nursing diagnoses are not appropriate for the client at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Risk factors for the development of eclampsia include obesity. The other choices will not predispose the client to developing eclampsia.
