Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a potential complication of a nuchal cord?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fetal distress. A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. This can potentially lead to decreased blood flow and oxygen supply to the baby, resulting in fetal distress. Maternal hemorrhage and amniotic fluid embolism are not direct complications of a nuchal cord.
Therefore, the correct answer is A as it directly relates to the potential consequence of a nuchal cord.
