A pregnant client comes to the office for her first prenatal examination at 10 weeks. She has been pregnant twice before; the first delivery produced a viable baby girl at 39 weeks 3 years ago; the second pregnancy produced a viable baby boy at 36 weeks 2 years ago. Both children are living and well. Using the gravida and para system to record the client's obstetrical history, the nurse should record:

  1. Gravida 3 para 1
  2. Gravida 3 para 2
  3. Gravida 2 para 1
  4. Gravida 2 para 2

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

(A) This answer is an incorrect application of gravida and para. The client has had two prior deliveries of more than 20 weeks' gestation; therefore, para equals 2, not 1. (B) This answer is the correct application of gravida and para. The client is currently pregnant for the third time (G = 3), regardless of the length of the pregnancy, and has had two prior pregnancies with birth after the 20th week (P = 2), whether infant was alive or dead. (C) This answer is an incorrect application of gravida and para. The client is currently pregnant for the third time (G = 3, not 2); prior pregnancies lasted longer than 20 weeks (therefore, P = 2, not 1). (D) This is an incorrect application of gravida and para. Client is currently pregnant for third time (G = 3, not 2).

A client delivered her first-born son 4 hours ago. She asks the nurse what the white cheeselike substance is under the baby's arms. The nurse should respond:

  1. "This is a normal skin variation in newborns. It will go away in a few days."
  2. "Let me have a closer look at it. The baby may have an infection."
  3. "This material, called vernix, covered the baby before it was born. It will disappear in a few days."
  4. "Babies sometimes have sebaceous glands that get plugged at birth. This substance is an example of that condition."

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) This response identifies the fact that vernix is a normal neonatal variation, but it does not teach the client medical terms that may be useful in understanding other healthcare personnel. (B) This response may raise maternal anxiety and incorrectly identifies a normal neonatal variation. (C) This response correctly identifies this neonatal variation and helps the client to understand medical terms as well as the characteristics of her newborn. (D) Blocked sebaceous glands produce milia, particularly present on the nose.
