The patient's significant weight gain puts her at increased risk for gestational diabetes and hypertension. Therefore, serum glucose and urine glucose should be monitored to assess for gestational diabetes and blood pressure should be monitored to assess for hypertension. Premature rupture of membranes and fetal anomalies are not directly related to the patient's BMI or weight gain.
