The bulging of the fetal head past the opening of the vagina during a contraction is called what?

Crowning
Preeclampsia
Effacement
Breech Birth

Explanation

Answer: A - Crowning is the bulging of the fetal head past the opening of the vagina during a contraction. It is an indication of an impending delivery. You do not need to check for crowning, but if the mother is actively delivering and you see the baby’s head, do not press on it or interfere in any way. Be prepared to catch and cut an umbilical cord.
