A client with a menstrual cycle of 28 days asks about the timing of ovulation. The nurse would respond by stating that ovulation would most likely occur on day:

1. 14 to 16.
2. 12 to 14.
3. 10 to 12.
4. 20 to 22.


14 to 16.

Rationale: Ovulation will occur at midcycle. Because there are 28 days in the client's menstrual cycle, ovulation would occur on day 14 to. The other answers are not considered midcycle for the client.
