RN Comprehensive Predictor 2026 Proctored Exam V2
A nurse is assessing a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Explanation & Rationale
3+ deep tendon reflexes (hyperreflexia) is an abnormal finding in pregnancy and indicates neuromuscular irritability associated with preeclampsia. Normal DTRs are 1+ to 2+. Protruding hemorrhoids, urinary frequency, and supine hypotension (caused by uterine compression of the inferior vena cava) are all expected, common findings in the third trimester and do not require provider notification.
