Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client at the clinic.

Answer Choices:

Rationale:

🟢 Spontaneous abortion: At 10 weeks gestation with bright red vaginal bleeding, abdominal cramping, and an open cervix, this presentation strongly indicates inevitable spontaneous abortion.

🟢 Cervical dilation: Confirms the pregnancy cannot continue, as the products of conception are being expelled.

🟢 hCG levels: Elevated but appropriate for gestation; not diagnostic for ectopic or molar pregnancy in this case.

🟢 Ectopic pregnancy: Would present with unilateral pain, low hCG, and no intrauterine pregnancy—not supported here.

🟢 Molar pregnancy: Typically associated with very high hCG, excessive nausea, and snowstorm ultrasound, absent here.
