After a lengthy labor process, a primigravid client delivers a healthy newborn boy with a moderate amount of skull molding. Which of the following would the nurse include when explaining to the parents about this condition?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Skull molding, a common result of vaginal delivery due to cranial bones overlapping, typically resolves within a few days as the head reshapes. It is not specific to breech or brow presentations, and surgical intervention is rarely needed.
