Answer:

<u>Antibiotics</u> are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, such as those that cause colds, flu, bronchitis, or runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green. Antibiotics are only needed for treating certain infections caused by bacteria, but even some bacterial infections get better without antibiotics.

A severe headache and visual disturbances are related to severe vasoconstriction and in a severe increase in blood pressure. Epigastric pain is related to hepatic dysfunction. Ankle edema is a common thing during the third trimester of pregnancy. However, the facial edema is associated with increased fluid retention and the progression from mild to severe pre-eclampsia. Increased energy levels aren't associated with a progression of the client's pre-eclampsia or the development of the complications. In fact, some women are reporting an "energy spurt" before the onset of labor. A mild back-ache is just a common discomfort of pregnancy, unrelated to a progression of the client's pre-eclampsia. It also may be associated with bed rest when the mattress is not firm. Some multi-parous women have reported a mild backache as a sign of impending labor.</span>
