Update on the theoretical and practical aspects of the evaluation of nursing care in patients with eclampsia and preeclampsia

Introduction: Eclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by seizures in women with preeclampsia. The quality of nursing care is crucial for the effective management of eclamptic patients, as it influences maternal and neonatal outcomes. Objective: To update the theoretical framework and research background on the quality of nursing care in pregnant women with eclampsia and preeclampsia. Method: A narrative review of the updated literature was conducted using recognized databases. Development: The main nursing care is the constant evaluation and verification of signs of worsening of the disease. The fetus and the pregnant woman/newborn must be kept safe before, during, and after delivery. Nurses must assess respiratory rate and vital signs, respiratory sounds, oxygen saturation levels, deep tendon reflexes, intake and output, level of consciousness, and fetal status at frequent intervals. Conclusions: Staff training and compliance with protocols are essential to ensure safe and effective care. It is necessary to continue strengthening staff training and improving communication with patients to optimize results in the management of this critical condition
