Feedback
A Generally hypertension is defined as a BP of 140/90 or an increase in systolic pressure of 30 mm Hg or 15 mm Hg diastolic pressure.
B Preeclampsia may be manifested as a rapid weight gain of more than 2 kg in 1 week.
C Proteinuria is defined as a concentration of (30 mg/dl) 1+ or greater via dipstick measurement. A dipstick value of 3+ should alert the nurse that additional testing or assessment should be made.
D Edema occurs in many normal pregnancies and in women with preeclampsia. Therefore the presence of edema is no longer considered diagnostic of preeclampsia.
