    Question

    Estimated date of delivery is calculated using?

    A.

    McDonald’s

    B.

    Naegele’s rule

    C.

    Rule of nine

    D.

    Dawn’s formula

    Correct option is B


    Sol. Naegele’s rule is a standard method to calculate Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD). It is done by adding 9 months and 7 days to the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). It assumes a 28-day cycle and is widely used in obstetric care.
    Explanation of each option:
    · (a) McDonald’s – Refers to measuring fundal height, not for calculating EDD.
    · (b) Naegele’s rule – Correct. It provides a reliable estimate of the expected due date.
    · (c) Rule of nine – Used in burn assessment to estimate body surface area affected, unrelated to pregnancy.
    · (d) Dawn’s formula – Less commonly used and not standardized; Naegele’s rule remains the preferred method.
