Question

Which hypertensive disorders can occur during pregnancy? Select all that apply

a. Chronic Hypertension
b. Preeclampsia-eclampsia
c. Hyperemesis gravidarum
d. Gestational Hypertension
e. Gestational trophoblastic disease

Answer 1

During pregnancy, the hypertensive disorders that can occur are Chronic Hypertension, Preeclampsia-eclampsia, and Gestational Hypertension (Options A, B, and D). Hyperemesis gravidarum and Gestational trophoblastic disease are not hypertensive disorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypertensive disorders that can occur during pregnancy are:

• Chronic Hypertension
• Preeclampsia-eclampsia
• Gestational Hypertension

Chronic Hypertension is when high blood pressure is present before pregnancy or is diagnosed before the 20th week of pregnancy.

Gestational Hypertension develops after the 20th week of pregnancy and usually resolves after delivery.

Preeclampsia-eclampsia is a condition that starts after the 20th week of pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure and often a significant amount of protein in the urine, and can lead to serious or even fatal complications.

Hyperemesis gravidarum, while a disorder that can occur during pregnancy, is not related to hypertension. It is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting leading to dehydration and weight loss.

Gestational trophoblastic disease is a group of pregnancy-related tumors that are not categorized as a hypertensive disorder.

Hence, the correct answers are Options A, B, and D.

Answer 2

Final Answer:

Hypertensive disorders can occur during pregnancy is:

a. Chronic Hypertension

b. Preeclampsia-eclampsia

d. Gestational Hypertension

Step-by-step explanation:

Chronic Hypertension (a): Chronic hypertension refers to high blood pressure that was present before pregnancy or diagnosed before the 20th week of gestation. This condition can persist throughout the pregnancy.

Preeclampsia-eclampsia (b): Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, often the liver and kidneys. Eclampsia is a severe form of preeclampsia that involves seizures. Both conditions can be dangerous for both the mother and baby.

Gestational Hypertension (d): Gestational hypertension is high blood pressure that develops after the 20th week of pregnancy. Unlike chronic hypertension, it typically resolves after delivery.

In summary, chronic hypertension, preeclampsia-eclampsia, and gestational hypertension are hypertensive disorders associated with pregnancy (Options a, b, and d are correct).
