Case Study 1.7 You are the nurse caring for a 34 year old G1P0 at 41 weeks gestation. She is being induced due to gestational hypertension. The induction is started with cytotec (misoprostol) and also utilized pitocin.  You determined that the patient is having late decelerations. You have tried interventions and the late decelerations continue. The provider is in the room. The provider performs a cervical exam, 8/90/0, and has moderate amount of blood on the glove. You palpate the patient’s abdomen and would describe it as “rigid and board-like.” It has been determined that the patient is having an abruption. What do you anticipate happening next?
