The nurse is reviewing nurses' notes to determine what the client's obstetric history reveals in the form of GTPAL. Choose the most likely option for the information missing from the statement by selecting from the list of options provided. Based on the client's obstetrical history, what is the client's G-T-P-A-L designation?
Explanation & Rationale
A. G (Gravida): This refers to the total number of pregnancies, including the current pregnancy. Since the client is currently pregnant, and she has had three previous pregnancies and one of which was a spontaneous abortion, the total is 5 (1 current pregnancy + 3 previous births + 1 spontaneous abortion). T (Term births): The client has had two full-term births (one at 38 weeks and one at 41 weeks), so T = 2. P (Preterm births): The client has had one preterm birth (at 35 weeks), so P = 1. A (Abortions/miscarriages): The client had one spontaneous abortion at 10 weeks, so A = 1. L (Living children): The client has four living children, so L = 4. B. G (Gravida): This refers to the total number of pregnancies, including the current pregnancy. Since the client is currently pregnant, and she has had three previous pregnancies and one of which was a spontaneous abortion, the total is 5 (1 current pregnancy + 3 previous births + 1 spontaneous abortion). T (Term births): The client has had two full-term births (one at 38 weeks and one at 41 weeks), so T = 2. P (Preterm births): The client has had one preterm birth (at 35 weeks), so P = 1. A (Abortions/miscarriages): The client had one spontaneous abortion at 10 weeks, so A = 1. L (Living children): The client has four living children, so L = 4. C. G (Gravida): This refers to the total number of pregnancies, including the current pregnancy. Since the client is currently pregnant, and she has had three previous pregnancies and one of which was a spontaneous abortion, the total is 5 (1 current pregnancy + 3 previous births + 1 spontaneous abortion). T (Term births): The client has had two full-term births (one at 38 weeks and one at 41 weeks), so T = 2. P (Preterm births): The client has had one preterm birth (at 35 weeks), so P = 1. A (Abortions/miscarriages): The client had one spontaneous abortion at 10 weeks, so A = 1. L (Living children): The client has four living children, so L = 4. D. G (Gravida): This refers to the total number of pregnancies, including the current pregnancy. Since the client is currently pregnant, and she has had three previous pregnancies and one of which was a spontaneous abortion, the total is 5 (1 current pregnancy + 3 previous births + 1 spontaneous abortion). T (Term births): The client has had two full-term births (one at 38 weeks and one at 41 weeks), so T = 2. P (Preterm births): The client has had one preterm birth (at 35 weeks), so P = 1. A (Abortions/miscarriages): The client had one spontaneous abortion at 10 weeks, so A = 1. L (Living children): The client has four living children, so L = 4.
