Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With severe preeclampsia, hospitalization is required so that bed rest can be enforced and the patient can be observed more closely. A patient with severe preeclampsia is admitted to a private room so that rest is undisturbed. Noises such as a baby crying, elevator doors opening and closing, and conversation from the nurse's station is sufficient to trigger a seizure. A private room will help reduce the likelihood of seizure development.
