The nurse who is assessing a G2 P1 client palpates the fundal height at the location noted on the picture below (near the umbilicus). The nurse concludes that the fetus is equal to which of the following gestational ages?
16 weeks.
20 weeks.
24 weeks.
28 weeks.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale
At 16 weeks, the fundal height is typically below the umbilicus. This location is more indicative of a fetus at around 20 weeks.
Choice B rationale
At 20 weeks, the fundal height is usually at the level of the umbilicus, indicating this is the correct gestational age.
Choice C rationale
At 24 weeks, the fundal height is usually above the umbilicus, suggesting a more advanced gestation than the picture indicates.
Choice D rationale
At 28 weeks, the fundal height is significantly above the umbilicus, making this option incorrect for the given scenario.

Final calculated answer: July 27.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
This represents 5 pregnancies (2 elective abortions, 1 twin birth, 1 spontaneous twin abortion, and current pregnancy), 1 term birth, 0 preterm births, 2 abortions (excluding current pregnancy), and 1 living child.
Choice B rationale
Incorrect because it lists 1 term birth and 3 abortions, which does not accurately reflect the client's history.
Choice C rationale
Incorrect because it states 4 pregnancies and 2 living children, missing the current pregnancy and miscounting the living children.
Choice D rationale
Incorrect as it accounts for 3 pregnancies, incorrectly summing the term birth and spontaneous abortions without considering the current pregnancy.
