Answer to Question 1

Rationale:
1. Before performing Leopold's maneuver, the nurse instructs the client to empty her bladder. This prevents pressure on the bladder, and the fetal structures are more easily palpated when the bladder is empty. The second step is to have the client lie on her back with her feet on the bed and knees bent.
2. Placing the client in Trendelenburg position is not consistent with accurately performing Leopold's maneuver.
