A nurse is caring for a laboring person who is experiencing fetal tachycardia. What is the priority intervention?

Correct Answer: A

Increasing fluid intake (C) does not directly address the fetal tachycardia. Increasing oxygen flow (D) is not necessary if the person is already receiving sufficient oxygen.
