Question 1 of 5
A woman delivers a fetal demise that has lanugo covering the entire body, nails that are present on the fingers and toes, but eyes that are still fused. Prior to the death, the mother stated that she had felt quickening. Based on this information, the nurse knows that the baby is about how many weeks’ gestation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lanugo typically appears around 16-20 weeks and covers the entire body by 22-24 weeks. Nails begin forming at around 18-20 weeks and are fully developed by 22 weeks. Fused eyelids occur up until about 24-26 weeks, after which they open. Quickening (feeling of fetal movement) usually occurs between 18-22 weeks in first-time pregnancies. Therefore, the most likely gestational age is 22 weeks.
