Hello, Can you please help me with the next question? Analysis (Analyzing Cues) Which client conditions are consistent with the cues? Do the cues support a particular client condition? What cues are a cause for concern? What other information would help to establish the significance of a cue? A healthy 28-year-old female, Amy, Gravida 2 Parity 1, presents to GP at 34 weeks’ gestation complaining of a 3-day history of severe headaches and blurry vision. She reports good fetal movements with no vaginal loss. GP took vital signs with BP measuring 160/100. Examination revealed a soft non-tender abdomen with hyper-reflexia with 2 beats of clonus. Urinalysis shows proteinuria 2+. Amy’s GP refers her to the delivery ward for further blood tests and assessment. Amy presented to delivery ward for further assessment. Her BP measured 160/95 and had a soft non-tender abdomen and a normal CTG on examination. Blood tests showed moderately elevated transaminase levels, normal platelet count, normal creatinine and haematocrit. Her urine protein creatinine ratio returned at 45mg/mmol. Amy’s BP profile remained elevated and she was commenced on Labetalol. She was admitted for BP monitoring/stabilisation and an ultrasound that showed normal fetal growth and wellbeing.   Thank you in advance!
