A pregnant client at 34 weeks gestation presents to the labor and delivery unit with a sudden gush of clear fluid from the vagina 2 hours ago. The nurse's initial assessment reveals a fetal heart rate of 110-120 bpm with occasional variable decelerations, maternal temperature of 99.2°F (37.3°C), and the client reports feeling decreased fetal movement. What is the nurse's priority action?
1Perform a sterile speculum examination to confirm rupture of membranes and assess for cord prolapse✓ 정답
2Administer antibiotics as ordered to prevent maternal infection
3Prepare the client for immediate cesarean delivery
4Place the client in Trendelenburg position and apply oxygen

The priority is a sterile speculum exam to confirm PROM and assess for cord prolapse, as variable decelerations suggest cord compression. Other actions (antibiotics, cesarean, positioning) may be needed later but are not the immediate priority.
