Question

the nurse is assessing the reflexes if the new born

ade 0.00 out of 100.00 A woman whose pregnancy has been confirmed asks the healthcare provider when her baby is due. The first day of her last menstrual period was March 20. Using Naegele's rule, the healthcare provider estimates the date of birth (EDB) to be which of the following? Select one:

Answer 1

Naegele's rule is the arithmetic mean of calculating the expected due date of delivery. It is calculated by adding one year, then subtract three months and then add seven days from the first day of last menstrual period which totally accounts for 280 days.

Woman last LMP = 20 March 2019

Add 1 year(2019) = 2020. But december falls on 2019 itself

Sub 3 months (March) = December

Add 7 days (20) = 27

The expected date of birth (EDB) is 27th December 2019.
