The client is at greatest risk for developing Target 1 and Target 2. Conditions.

Choice A rationale:

A 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) is the priority diagnostic test for a patient with symptoms suggestive of chest pain and a potential cardiac event. Chest pain and a feeling of heaviness on the chest can be indicative of various cardiac conditions, including myocardial infarction (heart attack). A 12-lead ECG provides valuable information about the heart's electrical activity, helping healthcare providers assess for signs of ischemia, arrhythmias, or myocardial infarction. Early detection and intervention are crucial in cardiac emergencies, making

The correct answer is D. Contractions.

Choice A Reason: Hypertension Hypertension in pregnancy is a condition that can occur independently of an amniocentesis and is typically monitored throughout the pregnancy. It is characterized by a sustained high blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher. While hypertension is a concern in pregnancy, it is not a direct complication of amniocentesis. Normal ranges for blood pressure in the third trimester are 101.6 to 143.5 mmHg systolic and 62.4 to 94.7 mmHg diastolic.

Choice B Reason: Vomiting Vomiting is not a typical complication following an amniocentesis. It may be associated with other conditions during pregnancy such as hyperemesis gravidarum or gastrointestinal disturbances but is not directly related to the procedure of amniocentesis.

Choice C Reason: Epigastric Pain Epigastric pain is typically associated with conditions like preeclampsia or other gastrointestinal issues in pregnancy, not with amniocentesis. It is characterized by pain in the upper abdomen and is not a common complication post-amniocentesis.

Choice D Reason: Contractions After an amniocentesis, especially at 33 weeks of gestation, monitoring for contractions is crucial because they can indicate preterm labor, which is a known risk associated with the procedure. The normal range for contractions would be none to infrequent Braxton-Hicks contractions, which are not regular and do not signify labor.
