Question

The LPN admits the client who has had 7 spontaneous abortions between 8 and 19 weeks of pregnancy to the outpatient clinic. Which term does the LPN use to describe this client?

a) Multigravida
b) Nulligravida
c) Primigravida
d) Grandmultigravida

Answer 1

The LPN would use the term grand multigravida to describe this client who has had multiple pregnancy losses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The LPN would use the term grand multigravida to describe this client.

The term multigravida is used to describe a woman who has been pregnant more than once, regardless of the outcome (whether it resulted in a live birth, abortion, or miscarriage).

The term nulligravida is used to describe a woman who has never been pregnant.

The term primigravida is used to describe a woman who is pregnant for the first time.

Since the client in question has had 7 spontaneous abortions between 8 and 19 weeks of pregnancy, she would be considered a grand multigravida because she has been pregnant more than once and has experienced multiple pregnancy losses.
