a) Back on the mother's right side
b) Head above the symphysis pubis
c) Back on the mother's left side
d) Head engaged in the pelvis

Answer 1

During Leopold's maneuver, if the baby is in the LOA position, you would feel the back on the mother's left side.

Step-by-step explanation:

During Leopold's maneuver, if the baby is in the LOA (Left Occiput Anterior) position, you would feel the back on the mother's left side. This means that when palpating the mother's abdomen, you would feel the back of the baby on the left side. The LOA position is a favorable position for vaginal delivery.
