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 ???

Would you please put the title NBME before your questions that you know are NBMEs, because we use NBME as an assessment test. Thanks.
