Rationale: In this scenario, it is important to explain to the client what happened during labor and delivery. It is essential to communicate that the fetus was in a brow presentation initially, which can sometimes lead to complications during labor. However, the fetus converted to occiput presentation and was successfully delivered vaginally with the help of vacuum extraction. Providing this information to the client helps in ensuring transparency and understanding of the events that occurred, addressing any concerns or questions they may have about the delivery process.
