The nurse is performing a physical assessment on a pregnant woman at 18 weeks' gestation and documents the following: vaginal bleeding, a uterus that is larger than expected for the weeks of pregnancy, anemia, excessive nausea and vomiting, and signs of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Which complication is associated with these symptoms?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Placenta previa

Explanation:

Placenta previa is the placenta partially or completely covering the cervix, leading to vaginal bleeding. The enlarged uterus and potential signs of pregnancy-induced hypertension could be related to the abnormal placental placement, and anemia may result from persistent bleeding.
