Question 3 of 5
What should the nurse do first if a pregnant woman at 32 weeks of gestation complains of feeling dizzy and light-headed while her fundal height is being measured and her skin is pale and moist?

Which pregnant woman should restrict her weight gain during pregnancy?

Extract:
A pregnant woman who has delivered premature twins, one full-term baby, and has had no abortions
Question 5 of 5
A pregnant woman comes to the prenatal clinic for an initial visit. In reviewing her childbearing history, the client indicated that she has delivered premature twins, one full-term baby, and has no abortions. Which GTPAL should the nurse document in this client's record?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: GTPAL stands for Gravida, Term, Preterm, Abortions, Living. The woman has 3 pregnancies (twins count as one pregnancy): premature twins (1 preterm pregnancy, 2 preterm births), one full-term baby (1 term pregnancy, 1 term birth), and no abortions. She has 3 living children (2 twins + 1 full-term). Thus, GTPAL is 3-1-2-0-3.
