What can you do if you diagnose a hypertensive disorder in a pregnant woman?
Your primary role in the management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is early identification of warning signs and symptoms, and immediate referral to a hospital or health centre. If possible ensure rapid transportation and reception of the woman at the higher health facility. Your actions should be based on your clinical diagnosis and the severity of the hypertension.
