While a client is being interviewed on her first prenatal visit she states that she has a 4-year-old son who was born at 41 weeks' gestation and a 3-year-old daughter who was born at 35 weeks' gestation and lost one pregnancy at 9 weeks and another at 18 weeks. Using the GTPAL system, how would you record this information?
1
G5 T1 P1 A2 L2
2
G4 T1 P1 A2 L2
3
G4 T2 P0 A0 L2
4
G5 T2 P1 A1 L2

Explanation:

1. The client is gravida (G) 5: the current pregnancy, the 41-week pregnancy, the 35-week pregnancy, the 9-week pregnancy, and the 18-week pregnancy.

2. She has had one term (T) pregnancy (one that lasts 40 weeks plus or minus 2 weeks): the 41-week pregnancy.

3. The 35-week pregnancy is as considered preterm (P).

4. Pregnancies that end before 20 weeks are considered abortions, so the losses at 9 and 18 weeks would be scored as A2.

5. The other options do not consider the present pregnancy or the correct definitions of term and preterm or do not include the abortions.

So by Using the GTPAL system we would record this information  as G5 T1 P1 A2 L2.
