stretcher from an ambulance. Her vital signs follow:
pulse, 120; respirations, 24 and shallow; blood pressure, 84/50 and faint. She complains of acute abdominal pain that began abruptly 1.5 hours ago. She has
a very scant amount of bright red bleeding. Fetal
heart tones are auscultated in the 90s. What do you
suspect has occurred? Formulate a priority-based
plan to ensure the best outcome for Ms. T. and her
fetus.
