A 22-year-old primigravid client is in her 28th week of pregnancy. The physician informed the client that she has pregnancy induced hypertension. The nurse concludes that the client was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension when the vital signs taken today show that the blood pressure has increased during pregnancy from 100/60 to 130/80. As part of prenatal teaching, the nurse instructs the client to immediately report any blurring or dimness of vision. The best rationale for this instruction is that the symptom is: A forerunner to preeclampsia Indicative of liver failure A sign of avitaminosis A Indicative of renal failure
