Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Gravida (G) is the total number of pregnancies she has had, including the present one. Therefore she is G3 and not G2 . Para (P), the outcome of her pregnancies, is further classified by the FPAL system as follows: F = Full term: number of babies born at 37 or more weeks of gestation, which is 0 and not 1 in this case. P = Preterm: number of babies born between 20 and 37 weeks of gestation, which is 0 in this case. A = Abortions: total number of spontaneous and elective abortions, which is 2 in this case. L = Living children, as of today. She has no living children; therefore, it is 0 and not 1.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Diabetes can present a wide variety of signs and symptoms. Often clients have no symptoms; but, when present, they may include the three polys: polyphagia is excessive hunger; polydipsia is excessive thirst; and polyuria is excessive urination. Polycythemia is an increase in red blood cells that is not associated with diabetes.
