The nurse evaluates the data presented. Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices area to specify which condition the client is most likely experiencing, two actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and two parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.

Which action should the nurse take?

A primipara presents to the perinatal unit describing rupture of the membranes (ROM) occurring 12 hours prior to coming to the hospital.
