Nurse Aubrey is assisting in developing a teaching plan for a client who’s about to enter the third trimester of pregnancy. The teaching plan should include identification of which danger sign that must be reported immediately?
a. Hemorrhoids
b. Blurred vision
c. Dyspnea on exertion
d. Increased vaginal mucus
Answer B.
During pregnancy, blurred vision may be a danger sign of preeclampsia or eclampsia, complications that require immediate attention because they can cause severe maternal and fetal consequences. Although hemorrhoids may occur during pregnancy, they don’t require immediate attention. Dyspnea on exertion and increased vaginal mucus are common discomforts caused by the physiologic changes of pregnancy.
