Answer to Question 1

2
1, 3, 4. Incorrect. The numbers reflect the woman's gravidity and parity information. Using the GTPAL system, her information is calculated as:
Gthis reflects the total number of times the woman has been pregnant; she is pregnant for the fourth time
Tthis number indicates the number of pregnancies carried to term, not the number of delive-ries at term; she has had only one pregnancy result in a fetus at term
Pthis is the number of pregnancies that resulted in a preterm birth; she has had two pregnan-cies in which she delivered preterm
Athis letter signifies if the woman has had any abortions or miscarriages prior to the period of viability; she did not
Lthis signifies the number of children born that are currently living; she has four children
2. Correct. This is the correct calculation of this woman's gravidity and parity.

Answer to Question 2

3
1. Incorrect. Caloric and protein intake does not predispose a woman to develop cholecysti-tis.
2. Incorrect. The woman should be instructed to limit protein intake and choose foods that are high in carbohydrates.
3. Correct. This would be appropriate nutritional counseling for this patient.
4. Incorrect. A low-cholesterol diet may result from limiting fats. However, a low-salt diet is not indicated.
