A nurse is teaching a group of nursing students about cord prolapse.

The nurse explains that cord prolapse can be classified into three types: overt, occult, and funis.

What is the difference between these types?



Correct Answer: A

The correct answer is choice A. Overt cord prolapse is when the cord is visible or palpable in the vagina, occult cord prolapse is when the cord is hidden within the uterus, and funis cord prolapse is when the cord is alongside but not below the presenting part.

Choice B is wrong because it reverses the definitions of overt and occult cord prolapse.

Choice C is wrong because it reverses the definitions of overt and funis cord prolapse.

Choice D is wrong because it does not match any of the definitions of cord prolapse types.

Normal ranges for umbilical cord length are 45 to 60 cm, and normal ranges for umbilical cord diameter are 1 to 2 cm.
