Simulated
A primigravid client is admitted as an outpatient for an external cephalic version. The nurse should assess the client for which of the following contraindications for the procedure?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
External cephalic version (ECV) is contraindicated in multiple gestation due to the risk of cord entanglement or placental issues. Breech presentation is an indication for ECV, not a contraindication. Rh-negative blood type and gestational diabetes do not preclude ECV.
