Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the client's regular 28-day menstrual cycle, her estimated date of delivery (EDD) can be calculated by adding 7 days to the first day of her last menstrual period (April 10), and then adding 9 months. This would place her EDD at January 17. Option A (January 10) would be too early based on this calculation. Option C (December 3) and option D (November 13) would be too early if the client has regular periods every 28 days.
