Risk for injury related to preeclampsia. A nursing diagnosis for preeclampsia isn't really possible since we nurses can't practice medicine. We'll be assessing for clonus, epigastric pain, headache, etc. (Which are signs of impending eclampsia.)

While the exact cause of preeclampsia is unknown, there is evidence to suggest that genetics may play a role in predisposing women to the condition. Women with a family history of preeclampsia are at a higher risk of developing it themselves. However, there are also other factors that contribute to the development of preeclampsia, such as a woman's overall health and lifestyle.
