After receiving large doses of an ovulatory stimulant such as menotropins (Pergonal), a client comes in for her office visit. Assessment reveals the following: 6 lb (2.7 kg) weight gain, ascites, and pedal edem().
A. These findings indicate which of the followingA. They are normal signs of an ovulatory stimulant.
B. The client is demonstrating signs of hyperstimulation syndrome.
C. The client is having a reaction to the menotropins.
D. The client is probably pregnant.
参考答案:B
解析:
Characterized by abdominal swelling from ascites, weight gain, and peripheral edema, hyperstimulation syndrome from ovulatory stimulants is an unusual occurrence. This client must be admitted to the hospital for management of the disorder. Nursing care includes emotional support to reduce anxiety and management of symptoms. These signs aren’t normal reactions to ovulatory stimulants and aren’t signs of pregnancy.
