What should the nurse anticipate the labor pattern for a fetal occiput posterior position to be?
1. Precipitous
2. Rapid during transition
3. Shorter than average during the latent phase
4. Prolonged with regard to the overall length of labor
4
Explanation:
1. Overall labor is often prolonged, not precipitous.
2. Overall labor is often prolonged, not more rapid.
3. Overall labor is often prolonged, not shorter.
4. The malposition does not allow the smallest diameter of the fetal head to come down the birth canal, and this can prolong the overall length of labor.
