intestines, fetal bloodstream,
umbilical arteries, placenta,
and mother’s blood stream. It
ranges from 800 to 1,200 ml at
term, with a pH of 7.2.

 2. Mrs. Z visits the health center for her first prenatal check up on August 10. Her LMP is January 20. The nurse performs
physical assessment to the Mrs. Z.

a. Approximately what is the fundal height of Mrs. Z. (1pt)

The fundal height is probably at 29 centimeters.

b. If the fundus is at the level of the umbilicus, how would the nurse interpret this? (1pt)
It is approximately one hour post-delivery.

b. How do your respond to Mrs. Z's question, "What does my baby look like at this time?" (2pts)
- The infant measures about 38.6 cm from head to heel. That is roughly equivalent to a butternut squash in size. The lung's
