, Normal Ranges For Blood Pressure During Pregnancy Are Below 140/90 Mmhg.Normal Ranges For
Protein In Urine Are Below 300 Mg Per 24 Hours.Normal Ranges For Reflexes Are 1+ To 2+ On A
Scale Of 0 To 4.

Severe Form Of Preeclampsia Characterized Byhemolysis,Elevated Liver Enzymes, Andlow
Platelets.Platelets Are Blood Cells That Help With Clotting, And A Normal Range Is 150,000 To
450,000/Mm3.A Low Platelet Count (<100,000/Mm3) Indicates A Risk Of Bleeding And Organ
Damage.
Choice A Is Wrong Because Hemoglobin 12 G/Dl Is Within The Normal Range For Pregnant
Women (11 To 16 G/Dl).Hemoglobin Is A Protein In Red Blood Cells That Carries Oxygen, And
Hemolysis Is The Breakdown Of Red Blood Cells.
Choice C Is Wrong Because Ast 15 U/L Is Within The Normal Range For Women (10 To 35
U/L).Ast Is A Liver Enzyme That Indicates Liver Function, And Elevated Liver Enzymes (>70 U/L)
Indicate Liver Damage.
