A nurse is preparing to measure the fundal height of a client who is at 22 weeks of gestation. At which location should the nurse expect to palpate the fundus?

The correct answer is B: 3 cm above the umbilicus. At 22 weeks of gestation, the fundus should be palpable at approximately the level of the umbilicus or slightly above. As the uterus grows with the developing fetus, the fundal height increases. This location corresponds to the expected fundal height for a pregnancy at 22 weeks. Choice A (Slightly above the umbilicus) is incorrect as it does not specify the exact measurement. Choices C (3 cm below the umbilicus) and D (Slightly below the umbilicus) are incorrect because the fundus should be higher at 22 weeks.
