brown vaginal discharge
A hydatidiform mole, or a molar pregnancy, is a benign
proliferative growth of the chorionic villi, which gives rise to
multiple cysts. The products of conception transform into a large
number of edematous, fluid-filled vesicles. As cells slough off the
uterine wall, vaginal discharge is usually dark brown and can
contain grapelike clusters.

b. 1+ protein in the urine
c. +2 edema of the feet
d. BP 144/92 - CORRECT ANSWER a. 480 mL urine output in
24 hrs
When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the
nurse should determine that the priority finding is 480 mL of urine
output in 24 hr because the minimum acceptable urine output in
an adult client is 30 mL/hr. This can indicate progression of
preeclampsia to preeclampsia with severe features, which
requires immediate intervention. Therefore, this is the priority
finding.
