A Woman Who Is 16 Weeks Pregnant with Her First

A woman who is 16 weeks pregnant with her first child is concerned because she has not felt the fetus move. What is the most appropriate explanation for a nurse to give this patient?

A) Movement of a fetus in the first pregnancy often does not occur until the twenty-fourth week of pregnancy.
B) A referral to an obstetrician should be made for further evaluation of this finding.
C) Movement of the fetus is not expected until the nineteenth week of pregnancy.
D) Movement of the fetus is related to fundal height; the greater the fundal height, the sooner the fetal movement.
