A client is seen in the clinic and determined to have a hydatidiform mole. Which diagnostic test can confirm the diagnosis of a hydatidiform mole?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Ultrasound is the primary diagnostic tool for confirming a hydatidiform mole, showing a characteristic 'snowstorm' pattern. Elevated human chorionic gonadotropin supports the diagnosis but is not confirmatory alone.
