birth canal, nurses should be aware
that:
a. The fetal attitude describes the
angle at which the fetus exits the
uterus.
b. Of the two primary fetal lies, the
horizontal lie is that in which the long
axis of the fetus is parallel to the
long axis of the mother.
c. The normal attitude of the fetus is
called general flexion.
d. The transverse lie is preferred for
vaginal birth.
11. As relates to fetal positioning b. Birth is imminent when the presenting part is at +4
during labor, nurses should be aware to +5 cm below the spine.
that:
a. Position is a measure of the degree
of descent of the presenting part of
the fetus through the birth canal.
b. Birth is imminent when the
presenting part is at +4 to +5 cm
below the spine.
c. The largest transverse diameter of
the presenting part is the
