Chapter 28, Problem 3CCS
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Ms. Johansen, a 38-year-old lady, is 26 weeks pregnant. Three weeks ago, she was diagnosed with preeclampsia and antihypertensive drugs were administered. She complains about a constant headache and exhibits edema. Moreover, her blood pressure rises continuously and is noted as 162/109 mmHg (millimeter of mercury). Her urinalysis has been analyzed to be positive for protein. Blood tests to determine platelet levels, as well as liver function, has been ordered by the doctor. The doctor advised her to put off the delivery if possible as the premature babies are highly prone to various health problems. Nonclosure of ductus arteriosus is one such problem.
