A client with last menstrual period on April 11
Question 1 of 5
A client's last menstrual period was April 11. Using Naegele's rule, her estimated date of birth (EDB) would be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nägele's rule: April 11, 2023 + 1 year = April 11, 2024; minus 3 months = January 11, 2024; plus 7 days = January 18, 2024. Other options incorrectly adjust months or days.

A client with Rh-negative blood and Rh-positive partner
Question 2 of 5
It is determined that a client's blood Rh is negative and her partner's is positive. To help prevent Rh isoimmunization, the nurse would expect to administer Rho(D) immune globulin at which time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rho(
D) immune globulin at 28 weeks and within 72 hours post-delivery prevents Rh isoimmunization effectively. Other schedules miss critical windows for blocking maternal antibody response.
Extract:
A pregnant woman at 16 to 18 weeks' gestation undergoing a triple/quadruple screen
Question 3 of 5
A pregnant woman undergoes a triple/quadruple screen at 16 to 18 weeks' gestation. What would the nurse suspect if the woman's alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level is decreased?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreased AFP, with altered hCG and estriol, suggests Down syndrome (trisomy 21). Sickle-cell anemia, cardiac defects, and respiratory disorders don't typically lower AFP; cardiac defects may raise it.
Extract:
A pregnant woman during vaginal exam with softened lower uterine segment
Question 4 of 5

Extract:
A pregnant client
Question 5 of 5
A nurse suspects that a pregnant client may be experiencing placenta abruption based on which finding? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D,E
Rationale: Placental abruption involves sudden separation of the placenta, causing severe pain, a rigid uterus from bleeding, dark red vaginal bleeding due to clotted blood, and absent fetal heart tones if the fetus is compromised. Absence of pain and insidious onset are not typical, as abruption is acute and painful.
