Question 2 :
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has just had a positive pregnancy test. The first day of her last menstrual period was February 16. Using Naegele's rule, what should the nurse tell the client the estimated date of birth is? (Use the MMDD format.)
Correct Answer: ["1123"]
- To use Naegele's rule, add 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period and subtract 3 months.
- In this case, adding 7 days to February 16 gives February 23, and subtracting 3 months gives November 23.
- Therefore, the estimated date of birth is 1123.
