The nurse assisting with deliveries is aware that which of the following clients is most at risk for having a difficult delivery and possibly cesarean section
A) A woman whose baby is in a longitudinal lie
B) A woman whose baby has a cephalic presentation
C) A woman whose baby has engaged prior to labor
D) A woman whose baby is in the footling breech position
D
Feedback:
Some positions of the fetus make delivery difficult or dangerous. For example, in a footling breech position, there is a chance the umbilical cord could prolapse because there is so much empty space within the uterus. This could cut off the blood and oxygen supply to the fetus before it is born. The other examples are normal fetal body to maternal body presentations.
