Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Causes of spontaneous abortion include genetic defects; defective ovum or sperm; defective implantation; maternal chronic conditions, acute infections, or nutritional deficiencies; abnormalities of maternal reproductive organs; endocrine deficiencies; and blood group dyscrasias. Psychological and physiologic trauma has also been implicated as a cause for spontaneous abortion.
