Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4
Explanation: 2. Nagele's rule is not always accurate for women who have amenorrhea but are ovulating and conceive while breastfeeding.
3. Nagele's rule is not always accurate for women who conceive before regular menstruation is established following discontinuation of oral contraceptives or termination of a pregnancy.
4. Nagele's rule is not always accurate for women with markedly irregular periods that include 1 or more months of amenorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: This patient is at greatest risk because she has multiple risk factors: age over 35, high parity, history of preterm birth, and exposure to chemicals that might be toxic.
Rationale 2: The main risk factor for this patient is her low socioeconomic status.
Rationale 3: This patient has two risk factors: young age and late onset of prenatal care.
Rationale 4: This patient's only risk factor is the history of gestational diabetes.
