Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 Bev, First off, never, ever give out the patient's name, just say the patient. Yes, there are dashes between the numbers. The patient is gravida 5, para 3-0-2-2. According to Vera Pyle, the first number is full-term deliveries, the second is premature births, the third abortions or miscarriages, and the fourth the number of living children. Hope this helps, Margaret >>> 05/13/01 05:26PM >>> Belinda s is a 22-year-old white female gravida 5 para (are there supposed to be dashes between these numbers???) 3022 status post-two spontaneous abortions and one stillbirth child born at full-term, LMP 4/15/01. Thanks. Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 Bev, I knew it was a mistake when I saw it, as I know you have never done that in the past. I made a point of saying that, though, just in case there are any lurkers or new people to the list who may get the wrong idea.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 Yes, I have always used dashes. BTW, my understanding is that BOS wants these put in Roman numerals rather than Arabic, which I have never really understand. Vera does have them as arabic numbers and I personally don't like the looks of putting a group of four dashed numbers in Roman numerals. Also, I have never known how to make a zero in Roman numerals. Just my opinion. I have seen in that past where people have discussed this, but I have never understood it.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 Peggy, I am so glad to hear that. I can only vaguely remember the discussion, as it has been some time ago, but it was on this list. I don't remember who said it was to in Roman numerals, just remember that I stayed out of the discussion, since I do not have a BOS myself. Thanks for the information.

Gravida and para are ALWAYS Arabic per BOS on p. 240-241. I realize you don't have a BOS Margaret, but I put those page numbers there for anyone reading this who does have a BOS.
