Ans:
C

Feedback:

This woman shows signs and symptoms of preeclampsia. A low platelet count with elevated serum creatinine and liver enzymes would reinforce this diagnosis. The other tests might indicate kidney problems or the presence of a pheochromocytoma, but her symptoms do not indicate a need for these tests.
