Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Medical abortions can be either elective (the woman's choice) or therapeutic (for reasons of maternal or fetal health).
B Medical abortions are performed through the use of medications rather than sur-gical procedures.
C Medical abortions are usually done in the first trimester.
D Medical abortions are performed through the use of medications rather than sur-gical procedures. They are mostly done in the first trimester, and they can be either elective (the woman's choice) or therapeutic (for reasons of maternal or fetal health).

Answer to Question 2

C
Due to the increased risk of maternal and fetal death with abruptio placentae, monitoring fetal heart tones and uterine activity are the priority interventions. Blood pressure and FHT are important observations, but these are not the most critical. While urine output will decrease with hemorrhage associated with abruptio placentae, it is not the most critical observation. The magnesium level is not a factor in this question.
