True or False: A forceps delivery occurs when an instrument is used to grasp the fetus.

A forceps delivery indeed occurs when a medical instrument, known as forceps, is used to grasp and assist in the delivery of the fetus during childbirth. This procedure is typically performed when there is a need for help in guiding the baby out of the birth canal, often due to concerns about the health of either the mother or the baby, or in cases where the labor is not progressing effectively.

Forceps are designed to fit around the baby's head and help in pulling the baby through the birth canal while the mother is pushing. This technique requires skill and should only be performed by trained healthcare professionals to ensure the safety of both the mother and the infant.

Other options provided do not accurately reflect the definition of a forceps delivery, as they either confuse the scenario with different methods of delivery or suggest variability where the medical definition is precise and well-established.
