Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Second-trimester medical abortions are associated with several side effects and may require multiple doses of prostaglandins to achieve the desired results. Side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chills, dizziness, and cramping. Because fever and chills are a possible expected side effect, the woman would not need to go to the emergency department. The other statements are correct and indicate good understanding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
After all types of abortion the patient is instructed to return for a follow-up visit at 2 weeks.
