A nurse is caring for a client who is at 34 weeks of gestation. Which of the following statements by the client is the nurse’s priority to report to the provider?

Choice A reason: Palpitations at 34 weeks may signal arrhythmia or preeclampsia-related cardiac strain. This urgent symptom in pregnancy requires immediate provider evaluation.Choice B reason: Weekly nosebleeds are common in pregnancy from vascular changes, less critical. Without severity, they’re not the priority over cardiac concerns.Choice C reason: Red, blotchy palms (palmar erythema) are normal in pregnancy from estrogen. It’s benign, not urgent compared to potential heart issues.Choice D reason: Persistent headaches suggest preeclampsia, but palpitations pose a more immediate cardiac risk. At 34 weeks, this takes reporting precedence.
