On speculum examination of the cervix, it is found to be round and smooth. These findings suggest that the client:
a. is a multipara.
b. has had vaginal deliveries.
c. is a nulliparous.
d. is a gravida 1, para 0.
ANS: C
These findings indicate that the client has never been pregnant and she would be classified as nulliparous. The options indicating that the client is a multipara, has had vaginal deliveries, or is a gravida 1, para 0 are incorrect because they refer to a client with a history of pregnancy.
