A client who is pregnant asks the nurse for her due date. The client's last menstrual period began on September 9, 2024. What is the client's due date?

The estimated due date (EDD) can be calculated using Nägele’s rule: add 1 year, subtract 3 months, and add 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). For an LMP of September 9, 2024: adding 1 year gives September 9, 2025; subtracting 3 months gives June 9, 2025; adding 7 days results in a due date of June 16, 2025.
