Question 3 of 5
The pregnant client presents with vaginal bleeding and increasing cramping. Her exam reveals that the cervical os is open. Which term should the nurse expect to see in the client’s chart notation to most accurately describe the client’s condition?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In imminent abortion, the client’s bleeding and cramping increase and the cervix is open, which indicates that abortion is imminent or inevitable. In ectopic pregnancy, the pregnancy is outside of the uterus, and intervention is indicated to resolve the pregnancy. A complete abortion indicates that the contents of the pregnancy have been passed. In an incomplete abortion, a portion of the pregnancy has been expelled, and a portion remains in the uterus.
