GTPAL System Overview
- GTPAL is an acronym for Gravida (total pregnancies), Term (term deliveries), Preterm (preterm deliveries), Abortions (including miscarriages), and Living (number of living children).
- Used to classify pregnancy history and obstetric outcomes.
Card One Summary
- A woman at 18 weeks pregnant with a history of 4 pregnancies: 1 vaginal delivery (26 weeks, infant died), 1 miscarriage, and 1 child at 38 weeks.
- GTPAL calculation: G=4, T=1, P=1, A=1, L=1.
Card Two Summary
- Client at 4 months pregnant with twins (born at 34 weeks), a son (born at 39 weeks), and a miscarriage at 6 weeks.
- GTPAL documentation: G=4 (4th pregnancy), T=1, P=1, A=1, L=3.
Card Three Summary
- Sexual activity during pregnancy: Generally safe but should be avoided if membranes have ruptured or in case of vaginal spotting.
- Oral-female contact could pose risks; nonmonogamous partners should use condoms to prevent STIs.
- Reassurance that sex usually does not harm the fetus.
Card Four Summary
- Last menstrual period (LMP) on February 1, 2017, results in an estimated delivery date (EDD) of November 8, 2017, using Naegele's rule.
Card Five Summary
- Client's LMP was November 16; EDD calculated as August 23 of the following year using Naegele's rule.
Card Six Summary
- Ultrasound is the most accurate method for determining estimated delivery dates.
Card Seven Summary
- For a client with a July 20 LMP, the estimated delivery date is April 27.
Card Eight Summary
- Client pregnant with twins has a child born at term and reported one miscarriage.
- GTPAL history: G=3, T=1, P=0, A=1, L=1.
Card Nine Summary
- The first day of the last menstrual period is crucial for calculating the due date via Naegele's rule.
Card Ten Summary
- Sonogram ordered for clients with irregular periods due to difficulty in using Naegele's rule.
Card Eleven Summary
- Emphasizes the importance of frequent rest periods for clients who work up to their due date.
Card Twelve Summary
- Client with previous pregnancies (2 term, 1 preterm, and 1 miscarriage) documented as G5, T2, P1, A1, L3 under GTPAL.
Card Thirteen Summary
- Client with an LMP of January 10, 2017, has a due date of October 17, 2017, using Naegele's rule.
Card Fourteen Summary
- A client with two term deliveries and one abortion documented using the GTPAL system as Gravida 4, Para 2.
Card Fifteen Summary
- Non-pregnant client with 4 children, 1 abortion, and varied gestation periods documented as G5, T2, P2, A1, L4 using GTPAL.
Card Sixteen Summary
- Routine ultrasounds are typically performed at 16 to 20 weeks gestation to assess fetal health.
Card Seventeen Summary
- Many factors influence the decision for a vaginal birth after cesarean, including the reason for the previous cesarean and the type of uterine incision.
Card Eighteen Summary
- For a woman with five pregnancies, the GTPAL documentation reflects G5, P3114 (3 full-term, 1 preterm, 1 abortion, 4 living).
