compromise the client’s vital organs, which can lead to
death. Therefore, the nurse’s priority is to massage the
client’s fundus to minimize blood loss.

provider.
3. A nurse is assessing a client who has severe preeclampsia. Which
of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
• Blurred vision

visual disturbances, such as blurred vision, double vision, or
dark spots in the visual field.

of 37.7 C (99.9 F).
