You are attending a staff meeting when the discussion about preeclampsia complications arises.Which of the following statements by the nurse educator is correct regarding HELLP syndrome?

Choice A rationale

Placenta accreta spectrum involves abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine wall, leading to complications during delivery and often necessitating a cesarean and possibly a hysterectomy.

Choice B rationale

Placenta previa refers to the placenta covering the cervix, which can cause bleeding but is managed differently.

Choice C rationale

Placenta abruption is the premature separation of the placenta from the uterus, leading to pain and bleeding, managed differently from accreta spectrum.

Choice D rationale

Posterior placental location refers to the position of the placenta in the uterus and does not typically require a cesarean and hysterectomy unless complicated by other factors.

Choice A rationale

Placenta previa leads to painless vaginal bleeding when the placenta covers the cervix. It does not typically require continuous fetal monitoring or prepare for cesarean birth based on the findings alone.

Choice B rationale

Abruptio placentae is the premature detachment of the placenta, causing abdominal pain, and can lead to fetal distress. Continuous fetal monitoring and preparation for cesarean birth are consistent with this complication.

Choice C rationale

Gestational hypertension is high blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy but without the presence of protein in the urine or other symptoms of preeclampsia. It would not typically necessitate the measures described.

Choice D rationale

Preeclampsia involves high blood pressure and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation and can cause severe complications for both the mother and fetus. However, it does not directly lead to the specific intervention of continuous fetal monitoring and cesarean preparation. .
