A nurse is providing teaching to a client about the adverse effects of sertraline. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse include?

A. Contact precautions are not indicated based on the assessment findings provided.

Preeclampsia is primarily a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by systemic manifestations such as elevated blood pressure, proteinuria, and multiorgan involvement. It is not transmitted through direct contact, so contact precautions are unnecessary.
B. The client is exhibiting signs and symptoms consistent with preeclampsia, including right upper abdominal pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, facial edema, weight gain, and elevated blood pressure. Monitoring urinary output is essential for assessing renal function and detecting oliguria, which is a potential complication of preeclampsia.

C. a deep tendon reflex (DTR) grade of 3+ indicates a brisker than average response, which could be normal or potentially indicative of neurological hyperactivity. In such cases, creating a calming environment, which may include dimmed lighting, could potentially help in reducing stimuli that might exacerbate neurological excitability.
D. The client's blood pressure readings are elevated, indicating hypertension, which is a hallmark sign of preeclampsia. Monitoring blood pressure regularly is crucial for assessing the severity of hypertension and guiding management.
E. Amniocentesis is not indicated based on the assessment findings provided. Amniocentesis is a diagnostic procedure typically performed to obtain amniotic fluid for various purposes, such as fetal lung maturity assessment or genetic testing. In the context of preeclampsia, it is not a standard intervention.
F. Preeclampsia can have adverse effects on fetal well-being, including intrauterine growth restriction and placental insufficiency. However, an external fetal monitoring provides a more accurate assessment of fetal heart rate patterns and allows for closer monitoring of fetal status in cases of maternal hypertension.
G. Deep tendon reflexes (DTRs) are assessed to monitor for signs of neurological involvement in preeclampsia. Hyperreflexia, as indicated by a 3+ DTR bilaterally, is a characteristic finding in severe preeclampsia and may indicate central nervous system irritability.
H. Bed rest is often recommended for clients with preeclampsia to reduce physical activity and minimize the risk of complications such as eclampsia or stroke. It can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of placental abruption.

A: Sedation is not typically required for PICC line insertion; local anesthesia is usually sufficient.
B: An MRI is not the standard method to verify PICC line placement; an x-ray is typically used.
C: Using gauze to secure an arm board can restrict circulation and is not recommended for securing a PICC line.
D: Measuring the arm circumference daily is important to monitor for complications such as swelling or phlebitis at the insertion site.
