The answer is: Tilt the patient.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Make no modification to indicated medications: This is incorrect. ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) guidelines recommend modifications to certain medications for pregnant patients to ensure both maternal and fetal safety.

  2. Cricoid pressure: This is not specifically recommended for pregnant patients in ACLS guidelines. Cricoid pressure is a technique used to prevent aspiration during intubation, but it is not a unique recommendation for pregnant patients.

  3. Tilt the patient: This is correct. ACLS guidelines recommend tilting the pregnant patient, typically to the left, to relieve pressure on the inferior vena cava and improve venous return, which can be compromised by the weight of the gravid uterus.

  4. Use femoral access sites: This is not a specific ACLS recommendation for pregnant patients. While femoral access can be used in certain situations, it is not a unique recommendation for pregnancy.

Summary: The ACLS recommendation for the pregnant patient is to tilt the patient to improve venous return and reduce the risk of supine hypotensive syndrome.
