Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Labor may begin with rupture of the membranes, experienced either as a sudden gush or as scanty, slow seeping of clear fluid from the vagina. Excessive fatigue, headache, abdominal pain, or increased pulse rate are not indications that labor is beginning.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
To use Nagele's rule, subtract 3 months and then add 7 days to the first day of the client's LMP (April 11): April minus 3 months is January, plus 7 days is 18 . Thus, her EDB would be January 18 of the next year.
