Explanation:  1. Placenta accreta occurs when the chorionic villi attach directly to the uterine myometrium. The major complications of placenta accreta include maternal hemorrhage and failure of the placenta to separate following birth of the infant. Signs and symptoms of amniotic fluid embolus include chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension, and cyanosis.
2. This client's symptoms have a severe, sudden onset that is consistent with amniotic fluid embolus. Signs and symptoms of amniotic fluid embolus include chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension, and cyanosis.
3. The client is hypotensive and is demonstrating signs and symptoms that are consistent with amniotic fluid embolus, including chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension and cyanosis.
4. Signs and symptoms of amniotic fluid embolus include chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension, and cyanosis. The condition may progress to hemorrhage, shock, and death.
