lower quadrant of her abdomen. The nurse obtains a blood sample and initiates an IV. Thirty minutes

that this is most probably the result of which of the following?
A. thrombophlebitis
B. pregnancy induced hypertension
C. pressure on blood vessels from the enlarging uterus
D. the force of gravity pulling down on the uterus
D - Explanation
Pressure of the growing uterus on blood vessels results in an increased risk for venous stasis in the lower
extremities. Subsequently, edema and varicose vein formation may occur. Thrombophlebitis is an
inflammation of the veins due to thrombus formation. Pregnancy-induced hypertension is not associated
with these symptoms. Gravity plays only a minor role with these symptoms.
