Ultrasound

Ultrasound ( 6 Questions)

A client is scheduled for a dating ultrasound.

When is this ultrasound typically performed?



Correct Answer: D

Between 8 and 12 weeks of gestation. A dating ultrasound is an ultrasound scan done between 8 and 14 weeks of pregnancy to help estimate your baby’s due date. It is the most accurate method to establish or confirm gestational age in the first trimester. It is based on the size of the embryo or fetus, which is measured from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the spine (rump) (CRL).

Choice A is wrong because it is not the typical time for a dating ultrasound, but for a nuchal translucency screening, which assesses the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

Choice B is wrong because it is not the typical time for a dating ultrasound, but for a third trimester ultrasound, which checks the growth and position of the baby, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the placenta location.

Choice C is wrong because it is not the typical time for a dating ultrasound, but for an anatomy scan, which examines the development of your baby’s organs and structures.
