Question
Answer
what is the most common medical complication of pregnancy   PIH  
🗑
is the progression of PIH predictable   no  
🗑
****NOTE: mild hypertension must be taken seriously and managed as for pre-eclampsia    
🗑
what is it called if it is the onset of hypertension without proteinuria after week 20 of pregnancy   gestational hypertension  
🗑
a pregnancy-specific syndrome in which hypertension with proteinuria (and possibly edema) develops after 20 weeks in a previously normotensive woman   preeclampsia  
🗑
the progression of preeclampsia which is characterized by epigastric pain, seizures (w/o warning) and coma   eclampsia  
🗑
what % of eclamptic women develop the condition while pregnant   70  
🗑
what % of women develop eclampsia in the immediate postpartum period   30  
🗑
hypertension present before pregnancy or diagnosed before week 20 of gestation   chronic hypertension  
🗑
women with chronic hypertension may acquire preeclampsia or eclampsia - what is this called   chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia  
🗑
what is preeclampsia   its a multisystem disease rather than only an increase in BP  
🗑
what is the triggering mechanism of preeclampsia   failure of trophoblastic invasion of spiral arterioles  
🗑
what does the failure of trophoblastic invasion of spiral arterioles lead to   vasospasm and organ ischemia  
🗑
what organs does preeclampsia involve   every organ system in the body and are present long before clinical manifestations are evident  
🗑
what is the main pathogenic factor in preeclampsia   poor perfusion as a result of vasospasm & reduced plasma volume  
🗑
what diminishes the diameter of the blood vessels   arteriola vasospasm  
🗑
what does this vasospasm impede   blood flow to all organs and increases BP  
🗑
function in the organs is depressed as much as what   40-60%  
🗑
who has the most severe complications and have higher mortality rates when it comes to preeclampsia   african-american women  
🗑
what are some risk factors for preeclampsia   family hx of htn-DM-morbid obesity-1st pregnancy-multiple gestations-previous hx of PIH-chronic renal disease-molar pregnancy  
🗑
the occurrence for PIH is higher among what age women   <20 and >35 and also primips  
🗑
chronic hypertension in pregnancy is associated with what complication   abruption, hemorrhage, cardiac difficulties/failure,HELLP syndrome,DIC,seizures, coma, pulmonary edema, acute renal failure,hepatic infarction/rupture, death  
🗑
what is the pulmonary edema due to   pulmonary capillary leak, excess IV fluid administration, or myocardial dysfunction  
🗑
what is the acute renal failure due to   renal vasospasm, ATN, or renal cortical necrosis  
🗑
a variant of gestational hypertension in which hematologic conditions coexist with severe preeclampsia involving hepatic dysfunction   HELLP syndrome  
🗑
NOTE********30% of cases of eclampsia and HELLP syndrome occur postpartum   ***HELLP syndrome is considered life threatning  
🗑
what does HELLP stand for   H:microangiopathic hemolysis- EL:-elevated liver enzymes LP: - low platelets  
🗑
what does the microangiopathic hemolysis result in   anemia and jaundice  
🗑
what enzymes are elevated in HELLP   ALT or AST  
🗑
the elevated ALT or AST in HELLP what are 2 other symptoms someone can have   epigastric pain and N/V  
🗑
what would be considered low platelets in HELLP   <100K/mm  
🗑
what do the low platelets in HELLP result in   thrombocytopenia, abnormal bleeding and clotting time, bleeding gums, petechiae and possible DIC  
🗑
what are 3 fetal complications of HELLP   intrauterine growth restriction, fetal distress and perinatal death  
🗑
what is the fetal distress caused by in HELLP   hypoxia  
🗑
signs and symptoms of HELLP - what would BP be like   140/90 or an increase of 30/ or /15  
🗑
what would edema be like   >1+ to pitting  
🗑
what about weight gain   greater or equal to 5lbs in a week  
🗑
where would you see swelling and when   hands, feet, face-especially in the morning  
🗑
what about protein   proteinuria >1+ or >3g/L in 24 hr collection  
🗑
what would BP be like if the eclampsia was severe   > 160/110  
🗑
what about edema   extensive including pulmonary  
🗑
what about color   cyanosis  
🗑
what about urine output   a decrease in urine output  
🗑
what about vision   visual disturbances - headache  
🗑
what about proteinuria   3-4+  
🗑
what are 2 other things you can get with eclampsia   seizures and coma  
🗑
visual disturbances typical of preeclampsia are what (2)   scintillations and scotomata  
🗑
what are these due to   cerebral vasospasm  
🗑
the headache that women get may be described as what   frontal, throbbing or similar to a migraine headache  
🗑
what is the epigastric pain from   hepatic swelling and inflammation with stretch of the liver capsule.  
🗑
epigastric pain may be of sudden onset, istypically constant and may be moderate to sever in intensity    
🗑
NOTE****while mild lower extremity edema is common in normal pregnancy, rapidly increasing or nondependent edema may be a signal of developing preeclampsia    
🗑
rapid weight gain is a result of what   edema due to capillary leak as well as renal sodium and fluid retention  
🗑
what are 8 things we assess for preeclampsia   weight, vs, breath sounds, edema, urinary output, FHR monitoring, reflexes & clonus, magnesium toxicity  
🗑
what are some nursing dx for a pt with PIH   altered tissue perfussion, high risk for injury(maternal & fetal), fluid volume excess, deficient knowledge, anxiety, fear, powerlessness  
🗑
interventions are aimed at what   assessment, detection and prevention, education, control of hypertension and seizure control and care  
🗑
once preeclampsia is clinically evident what is then palliative   therapeutic intervention  
🗑
home care management is an option but only for what types of women   whose condition is stable, who are able to comply with medical regimen, self-monitor, who can imm. report abnormal s/s  
🗑
mild preeclampsia can be managed at home with what   stimuli and activity restriction (side-lying bedres and dim/quiet environment) and also diet  
🗑
if preeclampsia is severe it has to be treated in the hospital with what   magnesium sulfate and control of BP  
🗑
this care for preeclampsia is all to prevent progression to where   ECLAMPSIA  
🗑
what is the intent of emergency interventions for eclampsia (5)   prevent injury-ensure adequate o2-reduce aspiration risk-establish seizure control-correct maternal acidemia  
🗑
what is the cure for eclampsia   delivery of fetus and placenta

🗑
what is the anticonvulsant drug that is used in preventing eclampsia   magnesium sulfate IV  
🗑
this drug requires one on one nursing care during administration with careful monitoring of what   reflexes, respirations, urinary output  
🗑
what is the antidote for magnesium sulfate   calcium gluconate - this needs to be at the bedside  
🗑
