A nurse is caring for a client who is in the active phase of labor. The nurse palpates the umbilical cord during a vaginal examination. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Decreasing IV infusion rate does not relieve umbilical cord prolapse. B. Placing the client in a knee-chest position helps relieve pressure on the prolapsed umbilical cord, improving fetal oxygenation until delivery. C. Instructing the client to push can worsen cord compression and is contraindicated. D. The nurse should not attempt to replace the umbilical cord into the cervix; this is a sterile procedure typically performed by the provider.
