Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a prenatal clinic is caring for a client. Using Leopold maneuvers, the nurse palpates a round, firm, moveable part in the fundus of the uterus and a long, smooth surface on the client's right side. In which abdominal quadrant should the nurse expect to auscultate fetal heart tones?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Right lower. When palpating the round, firm, moveable part in the fundus and a long, smooth surface on the right side, it indicates the baby's back is on the right side. Fetal heart tones are best auscultated on the side where the baby's back is closest to the mother's anterior abdominal wall, which is the right side in this case. Auscultating on the right lower quadrant allows the nurse to listen to the fetal heart tones most effectively. Auscultating in other quadrants would not provide the most accurate location for fetal heart tones due to the positioning of the baby in the uterus.
