title: Assessment, Management, and Health Implications of Early-Onset Preeclampsia.
abstract: Early-onset preeclampsia is a serious condition of pregnancy with the potential for adverse maternal and fetal health outcomes. A strong body of evidence supports the need for postpartum follow-up and health counseling, because these women and their offspring are at risk for future cardiovascular disease; nurses play a key role in this education. An understanding of the diagnosis, risk screening for, pathogenesis, and management of severe preeclampsia and its sequelae, such as intrauterine growth restriction and pulmonary edema, enables nurses to develop a comprehensive plan of care that will support women and their families through this challenging and dynamic complication of pregnancy.
