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)

Hi Sarah! I just returned home from taking my OB Exam (and like clockwork with every exam, I reviewed with you leading up to it and just prior). I know I had atleast 5 questions re GTPAL/TPAL/GP, that I not reviewed your video, I would have got wrong. That would have been a 90 right there. In short, thank you for taking the time to extend your nursing knowledge and gift of teaching to so many of us. You have been a blessing to my nursing education over the past two years and I am truly thankful for your channel. You are a wonderful resource and well- almost a part of my family! My 12 year old comes home from school and walks pass my office and says Hi Sarah! lol.
In closing, you are a blessing to many lives, nurses and patients alike. Thank you again. You are amazing and very much appreciated! I dont know where I would be without you and Armando Hasudungan! :)
