A) No vaginal exams should be performed as they can cause further bleeding in cases of placenta previa.
D) Fetal heart rate should be evaluated with an external monitor to assess for fetal distress or hypoxia.
E) Monitoring blood loss, pain, and uterine contractility is essential to assess for any changes, which may indicate worsening or improvement of the condition. Encouraging activity may increase bleeding and should be avoided. Intravenous access may be necessary for administering medications or fluids, so it should not be avoided until labor begins.
