The nurse is identifying nursing diagnoses for a patient with gestational hypertension. Which diagnosis would be the most appropriate for this patient?
A) Risk for injury related to fetal distress
B) Imbalanced nutrition related to decreased sodium levels
C) Ineffective tissue perfusion related to poor heart contraction
D) Ineffective tissue perfusion related to vasoconstriction of blood vessels
D
Feedback:
In gestational hypertension, vasospasm occurs in both small and large arteries during pregnancy. This can lead to ineffective tissue perfusion. There is no evidence to suggest that the fetus is in distress. There is no enough information to support imbalanced nutrition. Gestational hypertension does not affect heart contractions.
