- A is incorrect. The nurse should identify that the circled days on the client's menstrual calendar represent her days of menses. Therefore, the day before menses is the final day of the prior menstrual cycle. This final day represents the end of the ischemic phase of the endometrial cycle and occurs about 14 days after ovulation. B is incorrect. The nurse should identify that the circled days on the client's menstrual calendar represent her days of menses. Therefore, the final day of menses is part of the menstruation phase of the endometrial cycle, which occurs before ovulation. C is incorrect. The nurse should identify that the circled days on the client's menstrual calendar represent her days of menses. Therefore, this date falls in the proliferative phase of the endometrial cycle, which occurs before ovulation.
