Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. The 11 spilling of protein is abnormal, but this is acceptable for a client with pre-eclampsia.
2. The client could be experiencing HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count). This condition is sometimes associated with severe pre-eclampsia, and women who experience this multiple-organ-failure syndrome have high morbidity and mortality rates. A platelet count lower than 20,000 is critically low.
3. The urine output of .30 cc/hour is normal.
4. The DTRs of 21 are normal.

Answer to Question 2
