Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Nov. 13 is not correct according to Nagele's rule.
Rationale 2: The due date is Jan. 17. Nagele's rule is to add 7 days to the last menstrual period and subtract 3 months. The last menstrual period is April 10; therefore Jan. 17 is the EDD.
Rationale 3: Jan. 10 is not correct according to Nagele's rule.
Rationale 4: Dec. 3 is not correct according to Nagele's rule.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: The Apgar score would be higher; only the skin color needs to be subtracted.
Rationale 2: The strong cry earns 2 points. The crying with foot sole stimulation earns 2 points. The limb flexion and resistance earn 2 points each. Bluish color earns 0 points. The Apgar score is 8.
Rationale 3: The Apgar score would be lower than 9 because of the skin color.
Rationale 4: Ten is a perfect score. The nurse needs to subtract for skin color.
