Question 1 of 5
To determine whether a primigravid client in labor with a fetus in the left occipitoanterior (LOA) position is completely dilated, the nurse performs a vaginal examination. During the examination the nurse should palpate which of the following cranial sutures?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the LOA position, the fetus's occiput is anterior, and the sagittal suture (running midline along the skull) is most accessible during vaginal examination to assess dilation and fetal position. Other sutures are less prominent in this presentation.
