Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preeclampsia is precipitated by pregnancy-induced hypertension indicated by systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher, diastolic blood pressure more than 90 mm Hg, and an increase of more than 15 mm Hg of diastolic blood pressure from baseline. A 9-lb weight gain in this time period contributes to hypertension. Increase in systolic blood pressure of 20 mm Hg over baseline is an increase of more than 30 mm Hg of systolic blood pressure from baseline. Two-pound increase in weight in 1 week is an expected weight gain during pregnancy.
