A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client with HELLP syndrome.

Which of the following findings would indicate hemolysis?

Maintain a dark and quiet environment.This intervention helps to reduce sensory stimulation and prevent seizures in a client with eclampsia.

Choice A is wrong becausemonitoring fetal heart rate and uterine activity continuouslyis not a priority intervention for a client with eclampsia.The priority is to prevent seizures and control blood pressure.

Choice B is wrong becauseadministering oxytocin to augment laboris contraindicated in a client with eclampsia.Oxytocin can increase blood pressure and cause uterine hyperstimulation, which can worsen the condition and endanger the mother and the fetus.

Choice D is wrong becauseencouraging oral fluids and a high-protein dietis not appropriate for a client with eclampsia.

The client should be kept NPO to prevent aspiration in case of a seizure.A high-protein diet can increase the risk of renal failure and hepatic dysfunction.

Choice E is wrong becauseassessing for signs of placental abruptionis not a specific intervention for a client with eclampsia.Placental abruption can occur as a complication of eclampsia, but it is not the main focus of care.

A. To prevent seizures.

Magnesium sulfate is a mineral that can reduce seizure risks in women with severe preeclampsia.It is often given intravenously and can also be used to prolong pregnancy for up to two days.Magnesium sulfate is also used to prevent and manage seizures in women with postpartum preeclampsia.

• Statement B is wrong because magnesium sulfate does not lower blood pressure.It may be given along with medications that help reduce blood pressure.

• Statement C is wrong because magnesium sulfate does not induce labor.It may be given to delay delivery for up to 48 hours to allow time for the administration of drugs that speed up the baby’s lung development.

• Statement D is wrong because magnesium sulfate does not reduce edema.Edema is a common symptom of preeclampsia, but it is not a direct cause of complications.
