Through an interpreter, Erin learns that Delores is experiencing abdominal cramping. Which of the following would be the best response for Erin?
1. Call the local county extension program agent, who coordinates services for migrant farm workers and their families, to determine what service will be financed by the county.
2. Contact a local lay-midwife who is Spanish-speaking to see whether she can care for Delores, because Erin is aware that most migrant farm workers use this midwife to deliver their children.
3. Further assess Delores's abdominal pain before making any decisions.
4. Insist that Delores's husband take her to the nearest hospital with a labor and delivery immediately, because she may be in labor and the drive is almost 2 hours.
