Question 1 of 5
In breech presentation denominator is :
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In obstetrics, the denominator is the fetal part defining presentation. In breech (buttocks down), the sacrum (choice A) is the reference point, determining positions (e.g., sacroanterior). Femur (choice B), shoulder (choice C), or leg (choice D) aren't denominators; legs vary in flexed/extended breech but don't define it. A is correct, per standard fetal positioning. Nurses monitor breech risks (e.g., cord prolapse), assist in version or cesarean planning, and support safe delivery.
