Answer to Question 1

06-15
Rationale: Using Ngele's rule, you take the first day of the last menstrual period, subtract 3 months, and add 7 days. Subtracting 3 months from September is June, adding 7 days to the 8th is the 15th.

Answer to Question 2

B
Positioning is a nursing action, and lateral positioning facilitates uterine relaxation. Giving 0.25 mg of terbutaline sulfate (Brethine) SC and starting an IV of Ringer's lactate are not independent nursing actions. Pushing p.o. fluids is not an appropriate action for this situation.
