A nurse is assessing a client who is at 24 weeks of gestation during a routine prenatal exam. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

A. Bleeding gums: Mild bleeding gums can occur during pregnancy due to increased vascularity and hormonal changes. While uncomfortable, this finding is generally not urgent and can be managed with routine oral care. B. Fundal height of 26 cm: A fundal height slightly above the gestational age (24 weeks vs. 26 cm) may be within normal variation, especially if the client has a larger fetus or multiple gestations. It should be monitored but is not immediately concerning. C. Periorbital edema: Swelling around the eyes can be an early sign of preeclampsia, a potentially serious pregnancy complication. This finding should be reported promptly to the provider for further assessment and management. D. White vaginal discharge: Mild, white, and non-odorous discharge (leukorrhea) is common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. It is typically considered normal unless accompanied by odor, itching, or irritation.
