What are the nursing diagnoses and measures for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My wife was recently carefully diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. I want to ask, what are the nursing care, diagnosis confirmation, and measures for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If it has been diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy, the severity of the condition can determine whether conservative treatment or surgical treatment is required. Even with conservative treatment, close monitoring of abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding is necessary, and surgical readiness must be prepared at any time. After surgery, it is important to rest as much as possible, maintain a light diet, and undergo regular hCG tests. As soon as the urinary catheter is removed postoperatively, early mobilization off the bed should be initiated to avoid the risk of intestinal obstruction.
