NURSING QUIZ # 696
by supachai triukose Answer: C. • Gravida (G) – number of pregnancy • Term (T) – number of full-term infants born (born at 37 weeks or after) • Para (P) – number of preterm infants born (born before 37 weeks) • Abortion (A) – number of spontaneous or induced abortions (pregnancy terminated before the age of viability). Age of viability is 24 weeks. • Living children (L) – number of living children. • (Source: Maternal and Child Health Nursing by Adelle Pillitteri, 5th Ed. P.252) Since Mrs Donna has two previous pregnancies and is presently pregnant (16 weeks), G is 3. Mark, her only child was born at 35 weeks AOG which falls under the preterm category. Thus, T is zero and P is 1. The other pregnancy was terminated at 20 weeks AOG which falls under abortion, hence A=1. Mark is her only living child, thereby, L=1. Her GTPAL score is: 30111, G=3 T=0 P=1 A=1 L=1
