Offering foods low in protein and sodium is not included in the care plan. The client should be started on a moderate-to-high protein, moderate-sodium diet to compensate for the protein that is lost in the urine. Moderate pre-eclampsia is characterized by proteinuria of 1 to 2+. The client should be placed in a private room because noise and other stressors may trigger a seizure, causing eclampsia. Hydralazine is an antihypertensive medication and may be administered to reduce hypertension. An indwelling urinary catheter may be inserted to allow accurate recording of urine output.
