After reviewing a client's history, which factor would the nurse identify as placing her at risk for gestational hypertension?
A) Mother had gestational hypertension during pregnancy.
B) Client has a twin sister.
C) Sister-in-law had gestational hypertension.
D) This is the client's second pregnancy.
A
Feedback:
A family history of gestational hypertension, such as a mother or sister, is considered a risk factor for the client. Having a twin sister or having a sister-in-law with gestational hypertension would not increase the client's risk. If the client had a history of preeclampsia in her first pregnancy, then she would be at risk in her second pregnancy.
