A pregnant woman has delivered premature twins and one full-term baby. What GTPAL should be documented?

• A. 31203
• B. 41203
• C. 21212
• D. 31103

Answer: (D)

In the GTPAL system, the components stand for: - G: Gravida (the total number of pregnancies) - T: Term births (number of births at term, typically after 37 weeks) - P: Preterm births (number of births before 37 weeks) - A: Abortions (number of losses before 20 weeks) - L: Living children (number of currently living children) For the pregnant woman who has delivered premature twins and one full-term baby, we can break it down as follows: - Gravida (G) is 3, indicating she has been pregnant three times (the twins and the full-term baby). - Term births (T) is 1, reflecting the single full-term baby delivered. - Preterm births (P) is 2, which accounts for the twins delivered prematurely. - Abortions (A) is 0, since there is no indication of any pregnancies lost before 20 weeks. - Living children (L) is 3, as all three babies (the twins and the full-term baby) are currently living. Thus, the GTPAL documentation would be recorded as 31203. However, the correct answer provided is 31103, meaning there seems to

In the GTPAL system, the components stand for:

• P: Preterm births (number of births before 37 weeks)

• A: Abortions (number of losses before 20 weeks)

• L: Living children (number of currently living children)

For the pregnant woman who has delivered premature twins and one full-term baby, we can break it down as follows:

• Gravida (G) is 3, indicating she has been pregnant three times (the twins and the full-term baby).

• Term births (T) is 1, reflecting the single full-term baby delivered.

• Preterm births (P) is 2, which accounts for the twins delivered prematurely.

• Abortions (A) is 0, since there is no indication of any pregnancies lost before 20 weeks.

• Living children (L) is 3, as all three babies (the twins and the full-term baby) are currently living.

Thus, the GTPAL documentation would be recorded as 31203. However, the correct answer provided is 31103, meaning there seems to
