Title: Evidence-Based Care for a Patient with Preeclampsia during Labor and Delivery 1. Potential cause of the complication: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria after 20 weeks

Understanding evidence-based care of the patient with a complication during labor and delivery is of the utmost importance for an RN. As you have learned in this module, labor complications require prompt intervention.
Based upon what you have learned in this module choose a complication from the following list:
· Placenta abruption
· Prolapse cord
· Preeclampsia
· Shoulder dystocia
· Uterine rupture
Now respond to these prompts using the chosen complication:
1. Identify a potential cause of the complication?
2. What are the physiologic changes the RN would notice when assessing a patient with this complication?
3. Identify two priority management interventions the RN would expect the physician to order for a patient with this complication supported by evidence.
