    Umbilical cord prolapse occurs when the umbilical cord drops through the cervix ahead of the baby during delivery, which can trap the cord against the baby and restrict blood flow. Carla Hernandez, a 32-year-old Hispanic female at 39 weeks and 5 days gestation, is at risk due to her previous pregnancies. A pelvic exam and fetal heart monitoring can diagnose cord prolapse, and the nurse's interventions are to move the fetus away from the cord and contact the healthcare provider to prepare for an emergency c-section.

    Pathophysiology of Disease Umbilical cord prolapse is a complication that occurs prior to or during
    delivery of the baby. In a prolapse, the umbilical cord drops (prolapses)
    through the open cervix into the vagina ahead of the baby. The cord
    can then become trapped against the baby's body during delivery.
    Dx test  Fetal heart monitor (possible fetal bradycardia)
     Pelvic exam ( to see a prolapsed cord, or feel the cord with
    his fingers
