You are caring for a client in active labor. The client and her partner have expressed their desire for a natural birth and have declined medical interventions such as IV placement and continuous fetal monitoring. The client did consent to intermittent fetal monitoring. During the period of fetal monitoring, the RN notes repetitive late deceleration and fetal bradycardia of 90 BPM.
