What focused assessments would you expect the practical nurse to perform?

Write a 2-3 page APA formatted paper (not including cover sheet or reference page) utilizing a minimum of three resources based on the case scenario below. You may opt to do a power point presentation or Prezi with a minimum of 10 – 15 slides (not including cover sheet or reference slide) instead of the written paper.

Scenario: A gravida two, para-one 34 year old woman comes into the office for pre-natal care. She is 28 weeks pregnant. Her blood pressure is 160/90 with a weight of 220 lbs and a height of 5’1. Her previous blood pressure at her visit 4 weeks ago was 122/ 78. Her previous weight was 210 lbs. She reports a history of gestational diabetes. Her fasting glucose is 108 with an A1C of 6.0.

What focused assessments would you expect the practical nurse to perform? What important data would need to be communicated to her health care team?

Thanks Michael

A large portion of your power point has been copied from online sources such as mayo.org. Although the sources are on the reference slide there are no citations in the body of your work. Also, some of the information presented (and not cited) was from the American Heart Association-a great source but I want you looking at a pregnant woman and the guidelines are different.

A rule of thumb is that no more than 20% of work should be cited from a source. When I ut your slides into Grammarly up to 90% of many slides were directly copied from websites. This is why points have been deducted. The written assignments are to show me your knowledge and understanding of the material. I need to read your work, not copied work.
