Answer to Question 1

1,3
Rationale 1: Before performing Leopold's maneuvers, the nurse instructs the patient to empty her bladder. This prevents pressure on the bladder, and the fetal structures are more easily palpated when the bladder is empty.
Rationale 2: Placing the patient in Trendelenburg position is not consistent with accurately performing Leopold's maneuvers.
Rationale 3: Having the patient lie on her back with her feet on the bed and knees bent would be the second step.
Rationale 4: Placing the patient on her left side is not consistent with accurately performing Leopold's maneuvers.
Rationale 5: This is not the optimal position for the patient when performing Leopold's maneuvers.

4
