Question

You are working in a high risk L&D unit and just received a call from Dr Green saying that he is sending in a 38 year old approximate 32wk G2P1 in for elevated blood pressures in the office and is needing an NST, continuous monitoring of BP and further labs. The patient was a drop-in to the clinic without previous prenatal care. She is unsure of her LMP and states that her two year old son “came early” at 36 weeks which was a vaginal delivery without any anesthesia, “because he came so fast”. She is not reporting any contractions or pain at this time. During her office visit she presents at 2/70/-3. She has no support person with her.

Mary’s demeanor is now anxious and tearful and she reports allergy to PCN
