NCLEX-RN Exam - Question 4


A 38-year-old pregnant woman visits her nurse practitioner for her regular prenatal checkup. She is 30 weeks gestation. The nurse should be alert to which condition related to her age?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The nurse should be alert to pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) in a 38-year-old pregnant woman. Physical risks for the pregnant client older than 35 include an increased risk for PIH, cesarean delivery, fetal and neonatal mortality, and trisomy. PIH is particularly prevalent in older pregnancies due to age-related changes in vascular health and other physiological factors.
