During an antenatal visit, which assessment combination is most useful for early detection of pre-eclampsia?
Correct answer: A. Blood pressure measurement and urine protein testing
- A. Blood pressure measurement and urine protein testing
- B. Pulse rate measurement and blood glucose testing
- C. Temperature measurement and haemoglobin testing
- D. Respiratory rate measurement and stool testing
Explanation
Raised blood pressure with protein in the urine may indicate pre-eclampsia and requires further assessment. Haemoglobin and glucose testing are also useful in pregnancy, but they do not specifically screen for pre-eclampsia.
