The patient reported sudden weight gain. Objective findings included variations in blood pressure and edema. The diagnosis is preeclampsia, a common pregnancy complication defined by high blood pressure and excess urine protein after 20 weeks of pregnancy. If left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious complications for both mother and baby. The nursing care plan includes monitoring vital signs, providing a calm environment, restricting activity, and after 8 hours of interventions, enabling the patient to participate in activities that reduce blood pressure and cardiac workload.
