Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
An effective technique when communicating with a woman experiencing pregnancy loss is to say, I'm here if you need to talk. The nurse listens and acknowledges the woman's grief.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Signs and symptoms of an incomplete abortion are similar to those of an inevitable abortion, but some tissue is passed.
