Question 1 of 5
The client in active labor has moderate to strong contractions occurring every 2 minutes and lasting 60 to 70 seconds. The client states extreme pain in the small of her back. Her abdomen reveals a small depression under the umbilicus. Which fetal position should the nurse document?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An occiput posterior position is characterized by intense back pain (back labor). A depression under the umbilicus occurs as a result of the posterior shoulder. When a fetus presents anterior, it is uncommon for the mother’s chief symptom to be back pain, and the uterus should appear smooth.
