A nurse is performing Leopold maneuvers on a client who is in labor and determines the fetus is in an RSA position. Which of the following fetal presentations should the nurse document in the client's medical record?

The correct answer is A. Assist the client to turn onto her side.

A. Assisting the client to turn onto her side is the correct intervention. This is because the client's blood pressure is low, and turning onto the side helps improve blood flow to the uterus, reducing the risk of supine hypotension.

B. Assisting the client to an upright position is not the priority in this case. The client is at risk for supine hypotension, and a lateral position is more appropriate.

C. Preparing for a cesarean birth is not indicated based solely on the blood pressure reading. Turning the client onto her side and monitoring the blood pressure response are appropriate initial actions.

D. Preparing for an immediate vaginal delivery is not indicated based solely on the blood pressure reading. The client's condition may improve with positional changes, and further assessment is needed.

The correct answer is B. Explain to the client this is an expected occurrence.

A. Tell the client to follow up with a dermatologist: While it's always good to encourage clients to seek professional advice if they have concerns, in the context of melasma during pregnancy, it is generally a normal physiological change. A dermatologist may not be needed specifically for this condition unless there are other unusual symptoms.

B. Explain to the client this is an expected occurrence: This is the correct action. It's important for the nurse to reassure the client that blotchy hyperpigmentation on the forehead is a common and expected change during pregnancy. Providing education and support can help alleviate the client's concerns.

C. Instruct the client to increase her intake of vitamin D: Blotchy hyperpigmentation is not typically addressed by increasing vitamin D intake. While adequate nutrition is important during pregnancy, this specific concern is related more to hormonal changes than nutritional deficiencies.

D. Inform the client she might have an allergy to her skin care products: Melasma is primarily related to hormonal changes in pregnancy rather than an allergic reaction to skin care products. While assessing for allergies is essential in certain situations, it may not be the primary concern in this case.
