Question 1 of 5
A woman at 36-weeks gestation who is Rh negative is admitted to labor and delivery reporting abdominal cramping. She is placed on strict bedrest and the fetal heart rate and contraction pattern are monitored with an external fetal monitor. Two hours after admission, the nurse notes a large amount of bright red vaginal bleeding. Which nursing intervention has the highest priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bright red bleeding in the third trimester of a pregnancy with an Rh-negative mother is an obstetric emergency and warrants the highest priority. The immediate assessment of the fetal heart rate (FHR) and the mother's contraction pattern is crucial.
