    Ati demsn maternal newborn proctored exam

    You are admitting a pregnant female. She tells you she has 3 children. She has 3-year-old twins that were born at 35 weeks but her 8-year-old was born at 40 weeks. She also tells you she has not had any abortions or miscarriages. What is her GTPAL?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. 3.1.0.1.1: This notation is incorrect because it indicates only one living child, whereas the client has three living children. Additionally, the preterm birth category should account for the twin delivery at 35 weeks. B. 4.1.0.1.1: This suggests four pregnancies, but the client is currently pregnant with her third. Gravida should be 3, not 4, since she has had two prior pregnancies and is now pregnant again. C. 4.1.1.0.3: This implies four pregnancies and one abortion, which does not align with the history provided. The client clearly stated she has had no miscarriages or abortions. D. 3.1.1.0.3: Gravida (3) includes the current pregnancy and two prior pregnancies. Term (1) reflects the 8-year-old born at 40 weeks, Preterm (1) represents the twins born at 35 weeks, Abortions (0) indicates none, and Living (3) includes all three living children. This notation correctly represents her obstetric history.
