    A nurse is assessing a client at their first prenatal appointment. The client reports that the first day of their last menstrual period was September 17. Which of the following accurately represents the client's estimated date of birth using Naegele's Rule?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Naegele's Rule is a method used to estimate the due date of a pregnancy. It involves the following steps: Start with the first day of the client's last menstrual period (LMP). Add one year. Subtract three months. Add seven days. Using the client's LMP of September 17: Start with September 17. Add one year: September 17, the following year. Subtract three months: June 17 of the following year. Add seven days: June 24.
