A female client at 28 weeks gestation visits the physician’s clinic for her prenatal checkup. The assessment reveals normal and expected findings. The nurse expects the fundal height at 28 weeks gestation to be:
  1. At the symphysis pubis
  2. Between the symphysis pubis and umbilicus
  3. At the xiphoid process
  4. Between the umbilicus and xiphoid process
Explanation
Answer: D - At 28 weeks gestation, the fundal height is felt between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process. At 12 weeks, the fundal height should be at the symphysis pubis. Between 12 weeks and 20 weeks, the fundal height should reach the level between the symphysis pubis and umbilicus. At 36 weeks, the fundal height normally reaches the xiphoid process.
