What is the function of the amniotic fluid during pregnancy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: All of the above. Amniotic fluid serves multiple functions during pregnancy. It protects the fetus from trauma by cushioning it against external forces. It helps regulate fetal temperature by maintaining a stable environment. Additionally, amniotic fluid allows for fetal movement, which aids in the development of muscles and joints.
Therefore, D is correct as it encompasses all the essential functions of amniotic fluid.
Choices A, B, and C alone do not capture the comprehensive role of amniotic fluid, making them incorrect in this context.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is calculating the estimated date of delivery for a client who reports that the first day of her last menstrual period was August 10. Using Nägele’s Rule, which of the following is the client’s estimated date of delivery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: May 17. Nägele's Rule calculates the estimated due date by adding 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period, then subtracting 3 months, and finally adding 1 year. In this case, August 10 + 7 days = August 17. Subtracting 3 months gives us May 17. This date is the estimated due date of delivery.
Choice A (May 13) is too early, choice C (May 3) is also too early, and choice D (May 20) is too late based on Nägele's Rule.
