Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Late decelerations suggest uteroplacental insufficiency. Administering oxygen, stopping oxytocin (if running), and increasing IV fluids improve fetal oxygenation and uterine perfusion. Right-side repositioning is less effective than left-side, and scalp electrodes are not the first step.
