Answer to Question 1

Due to preeclampsia (protein in the urine and elevated blood pressure)

Answer to Question 2

DKA = diabetic ketoacidosis
No, BKA (below-knee amputation) would not be reasonable, as the physician would not need to ask the patientan amputation would be obvious to the physician on physical exam. An amputation would also have been noted in the physical exam section. DKA is more related to poor glucose control, which is the topic currently being discussed.
