Question 1 of 5

A nurse in labor and delivery is caring for a client. Following delivery of the placenta, the nurse examines the umbilical cord. Which of the following vessels should the nurse expect to observe in the umbilical cord?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Two arteries and one vein. This is because the umbilical cord typically contains two arteries (carrying deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta) and one vein (carrying oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus). This configuration is essential for fetal circulation and nutrient exchange during pregnancy.


Choice A (One artery and one vein) is incorrect as it does not reflect the typical composition of the umbilical cord.


Choice B (Two veins and one artery) is incorrect because the umbilical cord does not contain two veins; it contains one vein and two arteries.


Choice D (Two arteries and two veins) is incorrect as it describes an atypical structure of the umbilical cord.

In summary, the correct answer, C, is supported by the physiological function of the umbilical cord in fetal circulation, making it the most appropriate choice compared to the other options.
