Question

marianne presents for a well woman exam. in gathering her history, she tells you she has been pregnant 3 times. she has two children, both born at 39 weeks, and had one miscarriage. using the gtpal system, you note that in her chart as the following
○ g3 t2 p0 a1 l2
○ g3 t0 p2 a1 l2
○ g2 t2 p0 a1 l2
○ g2 t2 p2 a1 l3

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the GTPAL system:

• G (Gravidity): Total pregnancies (including current, miscarriages, abortions, live births). Marianne was pregnant 3 times → \( G = 3 \).
• T (Term births): Births at ≥37 weeks. She has 2 children born at 39 weeks → \( T = 2 \).
• P (Preterm births): Births <37 weeks. None → \( P = 0 \).
• A (Abortions/miscarriages): 1 miscarriage → \( A = 1 \).
• L (Live births): 2 live children → \( L = 2 \).

Matching these to the options: \( G3\ T2\ P0\ A1\ L2 \) fits.

Answer:

A. G3 T2 P0 A1 L2
