The nurse recognizes that which fetal presentation increases a patient’s risk for umbilical cord prolapse? (Select all that apply).
vertex presentation is the most common and normal fetal position, where the head is down and fully flexed.
These are all fetal presentations that increase a patient’s risk for umbilical cord prolapse. Umbilical cord prolapse is when the umbilical cord comes out of the uterus with or before the presenting part of the baby. This can cause fetal hypoxia and brain damage due to cord compression.

The correct answer is choice B, C, D and E. These are all fetal presentations that increase a patient’s risk for umbilical cord prolapse. Umbilical cord prolapse is when the umbilical cord comes out of the uterus with or before the presenting part of the baby. This can cause fetal hypoxia and brain damage due to cord compression.
Choice A is wrong because vertex presentation is the most common and normal fetal position, where the head is down and fully flexed.
This does not increase the risk of cord prolapse.
Normal ranges for fetal presentation are:
• Vertex: 95% of term deliveries.
• Breech: 3% to 4% of term deliveries.
• Transverse lie: 0.5% of term deliveries.
• Face: 0.2% of term deliveries.
• Brow: 0.1% of term deliveries.
