A hydatidiform mole, or a molar pregnancy, is a benign proliferative growth of the chorionic
villi, which gives rise to multiple cysts. The products of conception transform into a large
number of edematous, fluid-filled vesicles. As cells slough off the uterine wall, vaginal discharge
is usually dark brown and can contain grapelike clusters.

d. BP 144/92 - CORRECT ANSWER-a. 480 mL urine output in 24 hrs
When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse should determine that the
priority finding is 480 mL of urine output in 24 hr because the minimum acceptable urine output
in an adult client is 30 mL/hr. This can indicate progression of preeclampsia to preeclampsia
with severe features, which requires immediate intervention. Therefore, this is the priority
finding.
