Based on the data obtained, Mrs. Donna’s GTPAL score is:
a.  20111
b. 21111
c. 30111
d. 31111

Answer: C.
• Gravida (G) – number of pregnancy
• Term (T) – number of full-term infants born (born at 37 weeks or after)
• Para (P) – number of preterm infants born (born before 37 weeks)
• Abortion (A) – number of spontaneous or induced abortions (pregnancy terminated before the age of viability). Age of viability is 24 weeks.
• Living children (L) – number of living children.

Since Mrs Donna has two previous pregnancies and is presently pregnant (16 weeks), G is 3. Mark, her only child was born at 35 weeks AOG which falls under the preterm category. Thus, T is zero and P is 1. The other pregnancy was terminated at 20 weeks AOG which falls under abortion, hence A=1. Mark is her only living child, thereby, L=1.  Her GTPAL score is:
30111, G=3 T=0 P=1 A=1 L=1.
