The nurse is caring for the client who is being evaluated for a suspected malpresentation. The fetus’s long axis is lying across the maternal abdomen, and the contour of the abdomen is elongated. Which should be the nurse’s documentation of the lie of the fetus?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A transverse lie occurs in 1 in 300 births and is marked by the fetus’s lying in a side-lying position across the abdomen. Vertex presentations result in the lie’s being vertical. Breech presentations result in the lie’s being vertical. A brow presentation is also a vertical lie.
