A nurse is collecting data during an admission assessment of a client who is pregnant with twins. The client has a healthy 5 year old child that was delivered at 37 weeks and tells the nurse that she doesn’t have any history of abortion or fetal demise. The nurse would document the GTPAL for this client as:

G = 2. T = 0. P = 1. A = 0. L =1

Pregnancy outcomes can be described with the acronym GTPAL.(G is Gravidity. the number of pregnancies. T is term births. the number of born at term (38 to 41 weeks). P is preterm births. the number born before 38 weeks gestation.A is abortions or miscarriages. included in G if before 20 weeks gestation. included in parity if past 20 weeks AOE. L is live births. the number of births of living children.)Therefore. a woman who is pregnant with twins and has a child has a gravida of 2. Because the child was delivered at 37 weeks. the number of preterm births is 1. and the number of term births is 0. The number of abortions is 0. and the number of live births is 1.
