Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Because she is currently pregnant, she is classified as a gravida 4; the pregnancy
that was terminated at 8 weeks is classified as an abortion.
B Gravida 4 is correct, but she is a para 2 . The pregnancy that was terminated at 8
weeks is classified as an abortion.
C She has had four pregnancies, including the current one (gravida 4). She had two
pregnancies that terminated after 20 weeks (para 2). The pregnancy that
terminated at 8 weeks is classified as an abortion.
D Since she is currently pregnant, she is classified as a gravida 4, not a 3 . The para
is correct.
