Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Squatting is anatomically optimal for pushing in the second stage as it widens the pelvic outlet, aligns the fetus with the birth canal, and uses gravity to aid descent. Dorsal recumbent and lithotomy positions restrict pelvic mobility, and hands and knees, while helpful for back pain, is less effective for pushing.
