A nurse is collecting data during an admission assessment of a client who is pregnant with twins. The client has a healthy 5-year-old child that was delivered at 38 weeks, and tells the nurse that she does not have any history of abortion or fetal demise. The nurse would document the GTPAL for this client as:

Choice A rationale G represents gravida, the total number of pregnancies, including the current one (2). T represents term births, the number of pregnancies delivered at 37 weeks gestation or later (1). P represents preterm births, the number of pregnancies delivered between 20 and 36 weeks gestation (0). A represents abortions, the number of pregnancies ending before 20 weeks gestation (0). L represents living children (1). Choice B rationale This option incorrectly states L as 2. The client has one living child from the previous pregnancy. Choice C rationale This option incorrectly states P as 1. The client's previous pregnancy was delivered at 38 weeks, which is considered a term birth, not preterm. Choice D rationale This option incorrectly states G as 3. The client is currently pregnant with twins, making this her second pregnancy in total.
