Which event indicates a complication of an external version?
a. Maternal pulse rate of 100 bpm
b. Fetus returning to the original position
c. Increased maternal anxiety after the version
d. Fetal bradycardia persisting 10 minutes after the version
ANS: D
Fetal bradycardia after a version may indicate that the umbilical cord has become compressed, and the fetus is having hypoxia. There are few risks to the client during an external version. The fetus may return to the original position, but this is not a complication of the version. Anxiety may occur before the version but should decrease after the procedure is completed.
