The nurse is completing a physical assessment with a patient who has just learned of being pregnant. The patient's last menstrual period was August 15 . When should the nurse instruct the patient that the baby will be due?
A) July 15
B) June 22
C) May 22
D) April 15
C
Feedback:
When using Naegele's rule, the nurse should count backward 3 calendar months from the first day of the patient's last menstrual period and then add 7 days. For August 15, the month would be May and the day would be 15 plus 7 or 22 . May 22 is when the patient's baby is due. July 15, June 22, and April 15 are inappropriate applications of Naegele's rule.
