When is the due date if a patient’s LMP was on May 24, 2014?
a. 1/31/2015
b. 2/31/2014
c. 12/1/2015
d. 2/31/2015
e. 3/1/2015
Answer: This question is not our best, we hoped to remind people that the formula is an estimate but didn’t choose a very good date thus many questions.
In the end the answer would be using a ipad or android app 2/31/2015 (D) (again not a good choice on our part). Using the formula doing math of 24th + 7 and knowing there are 28 days in Feb would be 3/3/2015. Exactly 40 weeks would give the date of 2/27/2015.
So, for the board don’t worry they are not in any way anxious to deal with this date issue, it will be straight forward. As for the actual due date remember it is an estimate not exact in any way. Our apologies for any confusion or stress.
