Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a potential complication of a vaginal delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Shoulder dystocia. This is a potential complication of vaginal delivery where the baby's shoulder gets stuck behind the mother's pubic bone. It can lead to serious complications for both the mother and the baby, such as brachial plexus injury or fetal hypoxia. Shoulder dystocia requires immediate intervention to prevent harm. Placenta previa (
B) and umbilical cord prolapse (
C) are complications related to the placenta and umbilical cord, not the delivery process itself. Cephalopelvic disproportion (
D) refers to the mismatch between the size of the baby's head and the mother's pelvis, which may lead to difficulties in labor but is not a direct complication of vaginal delivery.
