What is the correct way for the nurse to document the GTPAL for this client?

A. Fetal breathing. The biophysical profile assesses fetal breathing movements as one of the components indicating fetal well-being.
B. Fetal neck translucency. This is not part of the biophysical profile; it is typically assessed during first-trimester screening for chromosomal abnormalities.
C. Fetal motion. Fetal movements are another component of the biophysical profile, reflecting the fetal central nervous system integrity and oxygenation.
D. Amniotic fluid volume. The assessment of amniotic fluid volume is crucial in determining fetal well-being and adequate fetal renal function.
E. Fetal gender. Gender is not assessed as part of the biophysical profile; the test focuses on fetal physiological parameters related to well-being.

A. Substance use. Parents or caregivers who use substances are more likely to abuse children due to impaired judgment and increased stress levels.
B. Extreme stress. High levels of stress in the family can increase the risk of child abuse as it can lead to frustration and inappropriate coping mechanisms.
C. High socioeconomic background. This is not typically associated with increased risk of child abuse; abuse can occur across all socioeconomic levels, but certain stressors are more prevalent in lower socioeconomic contexts.
D. Strong support system. A strong support system typically acts as a protective factor against child abuse by providing resources and emotional support to caregivers.
E. Prematurity. Premature infants often have increased care needs, which can lead to parental stress and potential abuse.
F. Chronic illness. Children with chronic illnesses may require more care, leading to caregiver stress and higher risk of abuse.
