A 25-year-old client believes she may be pregnant with her first child. She schedules an obstetric examination with the nurse practitioner to determine the status of her possible pregnancy. Her last menstrual period began May 20, and her estimated date of confinement using Ngeles rule is:
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.
why is the answer that?
subtract 3 months plus 7 days
i add 9 months and 7 days
