NCLEX-RN — Question 1

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

To calculate the estimated date of confinement (EDC) using Naegele's rule, you start with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), subtract 3 months, and then add 7 days to that date, finally adjusting the year if necessary. In this case, the LMP began on May 20. Subtracting 3 months gives us February 20. Adding 7 days results in February 27. Therefore, the estimated date of confinement is February 27.
