About this Module: The Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy Assessment challenges nurses to apply evidence-based knowledge in recognizing, assessing, and managing hypertensive complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Through scenario-based questions, learners will refine their ability to distinguish between gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia, initiate timely interventions, and communicate effectively with the healthcare team. Feedback reinforces current guidelines and strengthens clinical decision-making skills needed for safe, rapid response in high-acuity maternal care. show less
