answers 3 questions
1. which fetal part is in the uterine fundus
2. where is the fetal back located
3. what is the presenting fetal part
can also be used to estimate fetal size

Answer that the head must be flexed and the vertex is presenting
Process of Leopold Maneuvers - Answer ask the woman to empty her bladder
position the woman in supine
1. Identify what fetal part is in the fundus. The head is rounded, hard, and freely
movable; the breech is less regular and softer. This manoeuvre outlines fetal
lie-longitudinal or transverse-and presentation-cephalic or breech
2. With the palmar surface of one hand, locate and palpate the smooth convex contour
of the fetal back and the irregular that identify the small parts feet, hands knees, elbow.
This maneuver helps to identify fetal presentation.
3. determine the presenting fetal part over the inlet to the true pelvis To do this lightly
grasp the lower pole of the uterus between your thumb and fingers and press inwards
lightly. If the head is presenting and not engaged, ascertain the attitude of the head is
flexed or extended
4. Turning to face the feet of the woman Using both hands, outline the fetal head with the
palmar surface of your fingers tips. If the presenting part has descended deeply, it may
be possible only to outline a small portion of it. Palpation of cephalic prominence helps
to identify attitude of the head.
