Q: PREECLAMPSIA Decreased brain perfusion leads to small cerebral hemorrhages and
symptoms of such as
Answer: headaches, visual disturbances, blurred vision, and hyperactive deep tendon
reflexes (DTRs).
Q: PREECLAMPSIA Decreased liver perfusion leads to impaired liver function and
subcapsular hemorrhage. Exhibited by
Answer: epigastric pain elevated liver enzymes in the maternal serum
Q: PREECLAMPSIA Decreased Kidney perfusion leads to a
Answer: decrease in the glomerular filtration rate-decreased urine output and proteinuria.
Q: Symptoms of preeclapmsia Increased risk of pulmonary edema related to
Answer: increased capillary permeability in the lungs due to endothelial damage from
vasospasms
Q: Narrowing of the placental spiral arteries
Answer: decreases uteroplacental circulation leading to an increase risk to the fetus
Q: Proteinuria-300 mg/24 hour urine or greater than 1+ protein on a random urine
dipstick sample -No hyperreflexia -Mild edema of face and/or hands -Weight gain -Risk
remains until 6 weeks postpartum These are signs of
Answer: Mild preeclampsia
,Q: At home care of preeclampsia
Answer: Modified bedrest at home (may get up to the bathroom, shower, to eat meals, and
for healthcare provider visits) Monitor blood pressure every 4 to 6 hours at home - report
increases Daily weight-report rapid gain Fetal kick counts
Q: Preeclampsia Management type of labs drawn?
Answer: CBC, clotting studies, liver enzymes, platelets
Q: Pt with preeclampsia while in labor may receive?
Answer: magnesium sulfate
Q: Systolic BP >160 and/or Diastolic BP > 110 mm Hg -Proteinuria > 500 mg/24 hour
urine or greater than 3+ protein on a random urine dipstick sample -Hyperreflexia present
-Increasing edema of face and/or hands, generalized -Weight gain -Risk remains until 6
weeks postpartum
Answer: Severe preeclampsia
Q: S/S of severe preeclampsia
Answer: Headache Visual Changes Oliguria Epigastric RUQ Pain Pulmonary Edema
Thrombocytopenia
Q: Management of severe preeclampsia
Answer: Hospitalization -Bedrest with decreased stimuli (low lighting, limited visitors, no
TV-decreased stimulation) -Regular diet (may be NPO with IV fluids) -Continuous Fetal
monitoring -Possible antihypertensives -Magnesium Sulfate IV infusion -Labs-CBC,
clotting studies, liver enzymes, platelets, Magnesium Sulfate level -Delivery! -Induction of
labor or cesarean section?
, Q: Systolic BP >160 and/or Diastolic BP > 110 mm Hg -Proteinuria marked increase of >
500 mg/24 hour urine or greater than 3+ protein on a random urine dipstick sample
-Seizures -Hyperreflexia present -Generalized edema -Weight gain -Risk remains until 6
weeks postpartum
Answer: Eclampsia
Q: s/s of ECLAMPSIA
Answer: Severe Headache Visual Changes Oliguria Epigastric RUQ Pain Pulmonary
Edema Thrombocytopenia Renal Failure
Q: Management of severe eclampsia
Answer: Clear the airway and administer oxygen If not already started or serum levels are
sub therapeutic, infuse/increase rate of Magnesium Sulfate Continue Magnesium Sulfate
infusion post delivery
Q: Signs of preeclampsia during prenatal care
Answer: Abnormal weight gain, blood pressure, and urine dip for protein during prenatal
visits are often the first indications of a problem . Patient reports of headache, visual
changes, epigastric pain, decreased fetal movement.

Answer: (severe preeclampsia)
Q: Pharmacologic tx of preeclampsia magnesium sulfate -Action
Answer: blocks neuromuscular transmission, depresses the central nervous system,
relaxes smooth muscles
