Hey Mash
I dont think the question have enough information
This is what I knows. Preeclampsia can either be mild or severe dependent on the BP.
Mild =>close to term => delivery of the baby, if
Not close to term => bed rest
Severe => control BP w/hydralazine w/ or w/o labetalol. Then prevent seizures with MgSO4. When patient is stabalizes, delivery of baby through C-section
Base on this question. I would have to guess delivery of the baby since you did not mention anything about severe HTN.
