Answer to Question 1

D
Spilling glucose into the urine is not one of the three classic symptoms of preeclampsia.
The first indication of preeclampsia is usually an increase in the maternal blood pressure.
The first sign noted by the pregnant woman is a rapid weight gain and edema of the hands and face.
Proteinuria usually develops later than the edema and hypertension.
