77
Q

Chronic conditions and comorbidities that reduce uterine blood flow through the placenta, such as

A

diabetes, have demonstrated an increase in HTN during pregnancy

78
Q

epidemiology of HTN disorders during pregnancy

79
Q

A pregnant client who initially presents with blood pressure readings in a normal range and then presents with a blood pressure of

A

140/90 mm Hg or higher after 20 weeks of gestation will be diagnosed with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.

80
Q

diagnosis of gestational hypertension

A

no proteinuria
BP readings of 140/90mmHg or higher on two occasions at least 4 hrs apart

81
Q

A client who has chronic hypertension will undergo

A

a complete history and physical examination during the first prenatal visit to identify risk factors and disease management challenges.

82
Q

Clients who have gestational hypertension have higher rates of

A

thrombocytopenia
liver dysfunction

83
Q

why consistent fetal testing with hypertensive disorders

A

HTN leads to vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow through the placenta, therefore fetal growth needs to be monitored.
can lead to non-reassuring fetal status, fetal growth restriction, placental abruption

84
Q

Current recommendations include an ultrasound every

A

3-4 weeks with amniotic fluid levels checked when having a HTN disorder

85
Q

​​​​​​​Clients who have gestational hypertension at or after 37 weeks of gestation should

seek preconception counseling

87
Q

Manifestations such as severe headaches not relieved by

A

acetaminophen, visual changes, right upper quadrant pain, dyspnea, and oliguria should be immediately reported to the provider.

88
Q

oliguria

A

Less than 20 mL per hr of urine output.

89
Q

pathophysiology of why preeclampsia occurs

A

not well understood
however, it is thought to involve unexpected placental implantation and inadequate blood flow to the placenta.

90
Q

The maternal response to preeclampsia

A

The inflammatory events lead to vasoconstriction, vasospasms, and a decrease in clotting factors
Endothelial cell dysfunction and decreased maternal perfusion can lead to the diagnosis of preeclampsia based on the client’s manifestations, laboratory values, and diagnostic testing.

91
Q

however, current studies indicate preeclampsia begins with

A

unexpected placental implantation and subsequent release of antiangiogenic markers.

100
Q

Eclamptic seizures can lead to

A

severe maternal hypoxia, fetal hypoxia, aspiration pneumonia, trauma, maternal death, and neonatal death.

101
Q

Nurses need to understand that clients with sudden-onset eclampsia may present without

A

any manifestations of preeclampsia with or without severe features, or worsening disease

102
Q

The pathophysiology of eclampsia lies in the

A

progression of worsening disease of preeclampsia with severe features caused by unexpected placental implantation.

clinical presentation of eclampsia

A

persistent frontal or occipital headache, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light

105
Q

If the client requires intubation for eclampsia, the nurse should frequently assess

A

blood pressure because the procedure causes a hypertensive response that may lead to an intracranial hemorrhage.

high risk for liver and renal failure

109
Q

care during an eclamptic seizure

A

The client will be positioned on their left side to improve blood flow from the inferior vena cava.
Airway management, suction, administration of oxygen, prevention of aspiration, frequent vital signs, oxygen saturation, continuous fetal monitoring, and assessment of the seizure are paramount to ensure maternal-fetal safety.
infuse magneisum sulfate and antihypertensives via mulitple IV lines

Q

Fetal complications from HELLP syndrome

A

fetal growth restriction, respiratory distress syndrome, preterm birth, neonatal thrombocytopenia, neonatal neutropenia, neonatal leukopenia, and perinatal death.

118
Q

in pregnancy, an expected physiological process begins in the second trimester that will increase

A

insulin resistance at the cell wall to increase the transport of available glucose across the placenta to the developing embryo.

process intitated by the secretion of human placental lactogen (hPL) from the placental control of hormone secretion that takes full effect in the early second trimester

119
Q

human placental lactogen (hPL)

A

Hormone during pregnancy that the placenta releases in preparation for breastfeeding.

120
Q

The level of hPL remains relatively consistent throughout

A

the second trimester, but it will increase again in the third trimester until it peaks around the 30th week of pregnancy, when fetal weight gain markedly increases and glucose transport across the placenta is vital.

121
Q

Pregnant clients who have type 1 DM will likely have significant

A

changes to their insulin dosing and will require more frequent blood glucose testing, possibly four to six times a day, to prevent wide fluctuations in their blood glucose levels throughout the day.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

122
Q

education for clients who have PDM should include

A

nutrition, exercise, medication, how often to see the provider during pregnancy, and monitoring of glucose levels

123
Q

individuals who have PDM often have difficulty

A

conceiving or may have had multiple first-trimester pregnancy losses due to congenital anomalies or unstable blood glucose levels.

124
Q

Some of the most common manifestations of PDM

A

polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria, dry skin, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, fatigue, and more infections than average.

125
Q

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

A

increased insulin resistance at the cell wall that typically occurs in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and essentially mimics the features of type 2 DM

126
Q

risk for developing when having GDM

A

gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, preterm labor, complications associated with birth (including an operative birth and postpartum hemorrhage), and development of type 2 DM across a lifetime.

127
Q

manifestations of GDM

A

Increased thirst, increased urination, fatigue, and nausea are a few of the manifestations that may occur with increased serum glucose level

128
Q

Along with dietary modifications, pregnant clients who have GDM must monitor

A

blood glucose levels four times daily.

129
Q

patho of HG

A

placenta secretes hCG which rises rapidly over the first 10 weeks
in response to that, the corpus luteum secretes estradiol
Rising levels of progesterone will cause relaxation of the cardiac sphincter, which increases the incidence of gastric reflux and, thus, nausea

130
Q

common risk factor for HG

A

nulliparous
