When documenting a patient encounter, which term will the nurse use to describe the woman who is in the 28th week of her first pregnancy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Primigravida. In medical terminology, "primigravida" is used to describe a woman who is pregnant for the first time. The prefix "primi-" means first, and "gravida" refers to pregnancy. In this case, the patient is in her 28th week of her first pregnancy, making her a primigravida.
A: Multigravida refers to a woman who has been pregnant two or more times.
B: Multipara refers to a woman who has given birth two or more times.
C: Nullipara refers to a woman who has never given birth.
Therefore, the correct choice is D because it specifically describes the patient's current pregnancy status as a first-time pregnant woman.
