Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. May 1 is not correct; this would be too early by several months.
B. July 8 is not correct; this date is too far out for the due date based on the LMP provided.
C. To calculate the due date using Naegele's rule, you add 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) and then subtract 3 months. Given: LMP: April 15th Step 1: Add 7 days to the LMP: April15th + 7 days= April 22nd Step 2: Subtract 3 months: April22nd – 3 months = January 22nd
D. January 22 is close but not the correct date by the standard calculation of 280 days.
