Calculate the estimated date of birth (EDD) in October using Nägele's rule for a client whose last normal menstrual period (LNMP) began on January 1. Record your answer as a whole number. _______
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
8
Nägele's rule is often used to establish the EDD. This method involves subtracting 3 months from the date that the LNMP began, adding 7 days, and then correcting the year, if appropriate. Subtracting 3 months from January 1 gives you the month of October and adding 7 days = October 8.
