E. Restrict Fluid Intake To 1.5 L Per Day
RATIONALE:
, The Correct Answer Is Choice A, C And D. Here Is Why:

Intervention For Mild Preeclampsia To Detect Any Worsening Of The Condition.
• Choice B Is Wrong Because Magnesium Sulfate Is Not Prescribed For Mild Preeclampsia, But For
Severe Preeclampsia Or Eclampsia To Prevent Seizures.
• Choice C Is Correct Because Encouraging Bedrest In Left Lateral Position Can Improve
Uteroplacental Perfusion And Reduce Blood Pressure In Mild Preeclampsia.
• Choice D Is Correct Because Teaching The Client To Report Headache Or Visual Changes Can
Help Identify Signs Of Severe Preeclampsia Or Impending Eclampsia, Which Require Immediate
Medical Attention.

Indicates Thrombocytopenia.Thrombocytopenia Is A Common Coagulation Abnormality In
Preeclampsia And Can Increase The Risk Of Bleeding Complications.
