GTPAL Nursing Explanation Made Easy w/ Examples & Practice Problems Quiz | Maternity NCLEX

GTPAL nursing explanation made easy (GTPAL twins explained) with examples and quiz of practice problems for the NCLEX exam. In this video, I explain the GTPAL acronym, GTPAL meaning, and solve some examples. My examples include calculating GTPAL for twins and triplets. GTPAL stands for:
Gravidity: number of times the woman has been pregnant (THIS INCLUDES CURRENT PREGNANCY, MISCARRIAGES, ABORTIONS and *twins/triplets count as one).

Term Births: number born (alive or stillborn) at 37 weeks gestation onward (*twins/triplets count as one)

Preterm births: number born 20-37 weeks (alive or stillborn) (*twins/triplets counts as one)

Abortion: pregnancy losses before 20 weeks (counts as a pregnancy…so would put in gravidity as well)** if baby died after 20 weeks it is added under preterm or term not abortion.

Living children: number of children living (NOTE: twin/triplets counts individually)
