Which of the following findings on a prenatal visit at 10 weeks might lead the nurse to suspect a hydatidiform mole?
A) Complaint of frequent mild nausea
B) Blood pressure of 120/84 mm Hg
C) History of bright red spotting 6 weeks ago
D) Fundal height measurement of 18 cm
D
Feedback:
Findings with a hydatidiform mole may include uterine size larger than expected. Mild nausea would be a normal finding at 10 weeks' gestation. Blood pressure of 120/84 would not be associated with hydatidiform mole and depending on the woman's baseline blood pressure may be within acceptable parameters for her. Bright red spotting might suggest a spontaneous abortion.
