A client's last menstrual period was April 11 . Using Nagele's rule, her expected date of birth (EDB) would be:
A) January 4
B) January 18
C) January 25
D) February 24
B
Feedback:
To use Nagele's rule, subtract 3 months and then add 7 days to the first day of the client's LMP (April 11): April minus 3 months is January, plus 7 days is 18 . Thus, her EDB would be January 18 of the next year.
