Answer to Question 1

A
The woman or nurse should count the number of perineal pads used and the quantity and color of blood on the pads.

Answer to Question 2

D
D&C removes the products of conception from the uterus and can be used safely until the 14th week of gestation. If all the products of conception have been passed (complete abortion) or if the pregnancy is still viable (threatened abortion), a D&C is not performed.
