What are some conditions that come-up later in pregnancy that are shown by rapid weight gain? You want to make sure it's not one of these. She's in her last trimester.

"Assess first" will steer you right on a lot of NCLEX question. Learn the guiding principles to keep in mind while reading the questions. "Assess first" is a major one. Airway is another.

D, you'd want to make sure the weight gain isn't related to pre-eclampsia.
