Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in the second stage of labor and is experiencing a shoulder dystocia. The provider instructs the nurse to perform the McRoberts maneuver. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Assist the client in pulling their knees toward their abdomen. In shoulder dystocia, the McRoberts maneuver involves hyperflexing the mother's legs to rotate the pelvis, allowing the baby's shoulder to dislodge. This action enlarges the pelvic outlet, facilitating the delivery of the baby. Applying pressure to the fundus (
A) or pressing on the suprapubic area (
B) are not appropriate interventions for shoulder dystocia. Moving the client onto their hands and knees (
C) may be helpful in some cases but is not the initial step for the McRoberts maneuver.
