Answer to Question 1

D
In severe preeclampsia, the blood pressure increases to 160/110 . Weight gain may be 2 pounds within a few days, with urinary albumin of 3+ to 4+. Common symptoms include continuous headache, blurred vision, scotomata, nausea, vomiting, irritability, hyperreflexia, cerebral disturbances, dyspnea, cyanosis, pulmonary edema, and epigastric pain. If eclampsia occurs, the client may have a grand mal seizure and go into a coma.

Answer to Question 2

B
Wall suction should be set at 100 to 120 mmHg for adults, 50 to 100 mmHg for children, and 40 to 60 mmHg for infants.
