Nurses must be vigilant in identifying signs and symptoms of complications early. This involves:
- Regular Monitoring: Routine prenatal check-ups to monitor blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and fetal development. - Patient Education: Teaching expectant mothers about signs and symptoms to watch for, such as severe headaches, vision changes, and unusual swelling. - Use of Diagnostic Tools: Utilizing ultrasound, blood tests, and urine tests to detect potential issues.
