A nurse is teaching about home safety with a client who is 2 days postpartum. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale:

A. This question addresses pelvic pressure, which may not directly relate to the effectiveness of the hands-and-knees position for occipitoposterior fetal positioning.

B. The spacing of contractions is not typically affected by maternal positioning and therefore is not the most appropriate question to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention.

C. Asking about improvement in back labor is pertinent because the hands-and-knees position can help alleviate back pain associated with occipitoposterior fetal positioning.

D. Suprapubic pain is not typically associated with occipitoposterior fetal positioning, so this question may not provide useful information regarding the effectiveness of the intervention.

Rationale:

A. Using Naegle’s rule, May 3rd isn’t the correct answer

B. Using Naegle’s rule, May 20th isn’t the correct answer

C. Using Naegle’s rule, May 13th isn’t the correct answer

D. This is the correct answer Using Nägele's Rule:

1. Determine the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP): August 10.

2. Subtract 3 months: August - 3 months = May.

3. Add 7 days: May 10 + 7 days = May 17.
