Article Evaluation

Review of the Gestational Hypertension article:

• Article flows in a logical manner and all headings are relevant and important to the topic
• Most all sections are rather short and brief
• The article is incredibly neutral in tone and presents no subjective or biased information
• The citations I checked hyperlinked to the correct sources, all of which were credible
• A large portion of the article is about evolutionary considerations, but sections such as prevention and treatment lack information
• references and citations are easy to access and are located at the end of each statement or sentence
• This article does not include the sections a research article would, such as the ones we've reviewed in class, and lacks some areas of information
• Information provided is relevant to the topic and useful to me as a student interested in the topic.

Possible Topics

• Gestational Hypertension: Gestational hypertension

Lacks information on signs/symptoms and diagnosis. Could add new sections on these

• Bar code medication administration

A section about types of barcode administration or contradictions against it could be added

• Diabetic retinopathy

Includes information about screening in the UK, but none in the United States. This could be added to. Additionally, the research section could be updated as it lacks more recent sources

Addition to Article

Heading: Signs and Symptoms:

No single diagnostic test currently exists to predict the likelihood of developing gestational hypertension. High blood pressure is the major sign in diagnosing gestational hypertension. Protein in the urine, proteinuria, is a key indicator of the condition. Some women with gestational hypertension may present asymptomatic, but a number of symptoms are associated with the condition.[1]

Symptoms

• Edema
• Sudden weight gain
• Blurred vision or sensitivity to light
• Nausea and vomiting
• Persistent headaches
• Increased blood pressure
