Question

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

a. G = 3, T= 2, P=0, L=1
b. G=2, T=1,P=0,A=0,L=1
c. G=1,T=1,P=1, A=0, L=1
d. G=2,T=0, P=0, A=0, L=1

Answer 1

The GTPAL for this client would be G = 3, T = 2, P = 0, A = 0, L = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse would document the GTPAL for this client as:

G = 3 (number of pregnancies, including the current one)

T = 2 (number of term deliveries, which means births after 37 weeks)

P = 0 (number of preterm deliveries, which means births before 37 weeks)

A = 0 (number of abortions, either spontaneous or induced)

L = 1 (number of living children)
