Question: 1 of 32ATI Maternal Newborn proctored exam maltoso
A student nurse is reviewing the Five P's of labor and how they can affect labor dystocia.Which of the following fetal (passenger) factors can contribute to labor dystocia?
Explanation
Choice A rationaleFetal polydactyly is the presence of extra fingers or toes. This condition does not affect the progress of labor or lead to dystocia, as it doesn't impact the size, position, or descent of the fetus through the birth canal.Choice B rationaleThe occiput anterior cephalic position is the ideal fetal position for labor. It allows the widest part of the fetal head to fit through the pelvis most easily, reducing the likelihood of labor dystocia.Choice C rationaleAn estimated fetal weight of 4600 grams (macrosomia) can lead to labor dystocia. A larger fetus may have difficulty passing through the maternal pelvis, causing obstructed labor.Choice D rationaleFetal hydronephrosis refers to the swelling of the kidney due to urine buildup. While this can be a significant health concern, it does not typically impact the labor process directly.
