A client who is 11 weeks pregnant presents to the emergency room with complaints of dizziness, lower abdominal pain, and right shoulder pain. Laboratory tests reveal a beta-hCG at a lower than expected level for this gestational age.
 
  An adnexal mass is palpable. Ultrasound confirms no intrauterine gestation. The client is crying, and asks what is happening. The nurse knows that the most likely diagnosis is an ectopic pregnancy. Which statement should the nurse include? A. The dizziness you feel is because the pregnancy is compressing your vena cava.
   B. The pain is due to the baby putting pressure on nerves internally.
   C. The baby is in the fallopian tube; the tube has ruptured and is causing bleeding.
   D. This is a minor problem. The doctor will be right back to explain it to you.
