Rationale 3: Third-trimester bleeding is caused by either placenta previa or abruptio placentae. Dark red bleeding usually indicates abruptio placentae, which is life-threatening to both mother and fetus.
Rationale 4: This patient is at risk for harm after delivery but is not in a life-threatening situation at this time. This is not the highest priority for the patient.
