When assessing the fetus using Leopold maneuvers, the nurse feels a round, firm, movable fetal part in the pelvis inlet and a long, smooth, and soft surface in the mother's left side close to the midline. What is the likely position of the fetus?

Select one:

ROA

RSA

LOA

LSP

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

a.   ROA means right occiput anterior, which would imply that the fetal back is on the mother's right side.
b.   RSA means right sacrum anterior, which would imply that the fetal buttocks are in the pelvis inlet and the fetal head is in the fundus.
c.   LOA, which means left occiput anterior means that the fetus is in a longitudinal lie, with its head as the presenting part, facing the right posterior quadrant of the mother's pelvis, and its back on the mother's left anterior side. This is one of the most common and favorable fetal positions for delivery.
d.   LSP means left sacrum posterior, which would imply that the fetal buttocks are on the mother's left side and slightly rotated toward the back (posterior).
