    Pathophysiology Schematic Diagram: Predisposing Factor Precipitating Factor

    Uploaded by

    Carrie A
    This diagram outlines the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Predisposing factors include age over 33, a history of pre-eclampsia, and obesity. Precipitating factors include multiple pregnancies, a sedentary lifestyle, and an unhealthy diet. Abnormal placentation leads to reduced placental perfusion and signs and symptoms of the condition including hypertension, proteinuria, edema, and potential progression to eclampsia if left untreated. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for complications, allowing rest, avoiding activity that raises blood pressure, advising dietary changes, and administering antihypertensive medications as ordered by a physician.
