A nurse is caring for a client who has an ectopic pregnancy. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. Bradycardia: Ectopic pregnancy does not typically cause bradycardia. If cardiovascular changes occur, tachycardia is more common due to pain, blood loss, or hypovolemic shock in the event of rupture. B. Abdominal pain: Abdominal or pelvic pain is a hallmark sign of ectopic pregnancy. Pain may be localized to one side, often corresponding to the site of implantation, and can become severe if tubal rupture occurs. C. Hypertension: Hypertension is not associated with ectopic pregnancy. Blood pressure may decrease if significant internal bleeding occurs, potentially leading to hypotensive shock. D. Hydramnios: Hydramnios (excess amniotic fluid) occurs in certain intrauterine complications but is not a feature of ectopic pregnancy, as the gestation occurs outside the uterine cavity.
