حامل ٣٢ أسبوع، ارتفاع قاع الرحم ٢٦ سم. ما التصرف الصحيح؟

A client at 32 weeks has a fundal height of 26 cm. What should the nurse do?

1. Notify the provider; it is small for dates and needs a scan
2. Suspect twins and simply document it
3. Nothing; it is normal for gestational age
4. Suspect polyhydramnios

Answer: A) Notify the provider; it is small for dates and needs a scan. From 20 to 36 weeks, fundal height in cm roughly equals gestational age (±2). 26 cm at 32 weeks raises concern for growth restriction or oligohydramnios.
