A 30-year-old primigravida presents at 34 weeks gestational age with blood pressure of 160/90 mmHg, headache, epigastric pain, visual abnormalities and 3 proteinuria. Biophysical profile of the fetus is 8/8. Which one of the following is the best course of action?
1) Induce labour and attempt vaginal delivery.
2) Start magnesium sulfate intravenously.
3) Perform an emergency C-section.
4) Give betaclomethasone to induce fetal lung maturity.
5) Perform an amniocentesis to assess fetal lung maturity.
1 or 2 ? I think we should induce labour but before that we should start Mg. So which one is the best course of action? "best course of action" means what is the best initial step or what is the best cure? Could anyone help me please?

Sorry, I don't have the answers "best course of action" could be tricky. But I guess it is Mg. Anyone could help?

2 than 1 will not cause much difference. but 1 than 2 may prove dangerous.
