Feedback
A The seven identifiable movements of the mechanism of labor occur in combina-tions simultaneously, not in precise sequences.
B Asynclitism is the deflection of the baby's head; the Leopold maneuver is a means of judging descent by palpating the mother's abdomen.
C The size of the maternal pelvis and the ability of the fetal head to mold also af-fect the process.
D Restitution is the rotation of the baby's head after the infant is born.
