The nurse is preparing to assess the fetal heart tones for a client whose fetus is in the LOA position. Which location will the nurse use to assess the fetal heart tones?
1. A.
2. B.
3. C.
4. D.
Correct Answer: 4
The position of the fetus can be used to ascertain the best location for listening for fetal heart tones. When the fetus is in the LOA (left occiput posterior) position, the head of the fetus is the presenting part. The occipital region of the fetal head and back will be facing the left anterior side of the mother. This will allow the assessment of heart tones in a region closest to the back of the fetus.
