The client’s record reveals that the client has an 8-year-old son and a 6-yearold daughter who were born at 41 weeks and 37 weeks, respectively. The client had a miscarriage at 5 weeks gestation. The nurse documents the GTPAL of the client as:
  1. G5 T1 P1 A1 L2
  2. G4 T1 P1 A1 L2
  3. G5 T2 P0 A1 L2
