Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A drop in blood pressure during pregnancy is normal and expected due to the expansion of blood vessels in the body. The client's blood pressure is still within the normal range and stable, so A, C, and D are not necessary actions. Therefore, documenting the blood pressure as a normal finding is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take.
