A nurse is caring for a client who has a placenta previa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Severe abdominal pain: Severe abdominal pain is more commonly associated with placental abruption, not placenta previa. In placenta previa, the placenta covers the cervical opening, which typically causes painless bleeding rather than significant abdominal discomfort. B. Delayed menses: Delayed menses is not related to placenta previa. This condition occurs during pregnancy, after menses have already ceased, and does not influence menstrual timing. C. Nausea: Nausea is a common symptom in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes but is not a characteristic finding of placenta previa. It does not help in diagnosing or identifying this placental complication. D. Spotting: Spotting or painless vaginal bleeding, especially in the second or third trimester, is a hallmark sign of placenta previa. The bleeding occurs because the placenta partially or completely covers the cervical os, and it often requires careful monitoring and management to prevent maternal and fetal complications.
