ANS: B
There are two types of cesarean delivery: classic (vertical incision) and the lower segment transverse incision. Classic-style incisions are reserved for some cases of shoulder dystocia, placental previa, and when birth must take place emergently. The nurse needs to determine if the woman had a classic cesarean delivery when her first child was delivered emergently. If so, the woman cannot attempt a vaginal delivery. Women with a low transverse incision can safely attempt a trial of labor.
