While transporting a woman 8 months' pregnant with her first child, she says she feels the need to push. Upon examining her, you see one of the infant's arms hanging from the vaginal opening. What should you do as a EMT-Basic?
A: Go ahead and deliver the infant in the ambulance.
B: Gently push the infant's arm back into the birth canal and rapidly transport the mother to the emergency department.
C: Adjust the stretcher so that the mother's pelvis is higher than her head, tell her to do her best not to push, and rapidly transport.
D: Leave the mother as is, tell her not to push, and rapidly transport.
