Naegele's rule Correct Answer--The Estimated Due Date is calculated by
adding 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period, subtracting 3
months and adding 1 year
-For example, if the patient's last menstrual period was on August 10,
2019, the EDD would be calculated as follows: LMP equals August 10,
2019 plus 7 days equals August 17, 2019, minus 3 months equals May
17, 2019 plus one year equals May 17, 2020.
Hematological changes during pregnancy Correct Answer--Blood
volume increases by 30 to 50%, or 1,100 to 1,600 mL and peaks at 30 to

be plasma
