Which breech presentation should the nurse recognize as being favorable for an external cephalic version?
a. 36-week gestation with low-lying placenta
b. 38-week gestation with one previous cesarean
c. 37-week gestation with fetal weight of 7 pounds
d. 40-week gestation with several uterine fibroids
ANS: C
An external cephalic version (changing the fetal presentation from breech to cephalic) is more successful when the pregnancy is at least 37 weeks and there is still adequate room and fluid to manipulate the fetus but prior to term or onset of labor. A low-lying placenta, previous cesarean birth, and uterine fibroids are contraindications for version.
