Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Asherman syndrome is a complication of abortion and is characterized by the presence of endometrial adhesions or scar tissue. The other options are not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Abortion is an emotional decision and often brings about distress from a religious perspective. When the patient can state that she feels better about her choice, goals for resolving this diagnosis are being met or have been met. The other statements do not indicate this level of resolution.
