Question 1 of 5
When assessing a client in the Emergency Department whose membranes have ruptured, the nurse notes that the fluid is a greenish color. What is the cause of this greenish coloration?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: meconium. Greenish amniotic fluid passed when the fetus is in a cephalic (head) presentation might indicate fetal distress. A fetus in the breech presentation passes meconium due to compression on the intestinal tract.
Choice A, blood, is incorrect as blood in the amniotic fluid would present as a different color.
Choice C, hydramnios, refers to an excess of amniotic fluid and would not cause the greenish coloration.
Choice D, caput, is swelling of a newborn's scalp and is not related to the color of the amniotic fluid.
