The painful phenomenon known as "back labor" occurs in a client whose fetus is in what position?

a. Breech c. LOP
b. Brow d. ROA


C
Because the pressure of the occiput is against the sacral nerves with posterior presentations, contractions with the LOP or ROP are felt primarily in the lower back. A breech presentation does not produce labor contractions felt primarily in the back. A brow presentation is very rare, because the normal position of the fetus is flexion. With anterior presentations (LOA or ROA), the contractions are felt primarily in the front.
