Answer
Call for urgent senior multidisciplinary help, Assess maternal airway, breathing, and circulation, Establish wide-bore intravenous access and draw blood for cross-match, Administer warmed intravenous crystalloid fluid resuscitation

A practical sequence begins by establishing **wide-bore access**, which supports fluid administration, and preparing the blood-giving set. The lecture then lists crystalloid resuscitation of up to 2 litres and admission. These are the management measures supplied in the slide; actual resuscitation and delivery decisions require ongoing assessment of the patient’s condition.\n\n**Key takeaway:** Prepare access and resuscitation resources promptly, while arranging inpatient care.\n\n**Glossary:** **Wide-bore cannula**: A large-diameter intravenous catheter; **crystalloid**: An intravenous fluid solution.
