해설
In precipitous labor with 8 cm dilation and contractions every 1-2 minutes, delivery is imminent. The nurse's priority is to prepare for emergency delivery and immediately notify the physician. Other options (cesarean, IV fluids/meds, transfer) are not appropriate as they delay immediate delivery.
