A client is admitted with a threatened abortion.Which assessment findings would the nurse expect? Select all that apply.Severe cramping and pelvic pain.Closed cervix upon examination.Mild to moderate lower abdominal cramping.Passage of fetal tissue.Bright red vaginal bleeding.Answer and explanationThe correct answer is Choice B, Choice C, Choice E.Choice A rationaleSevere cramping and pelvic pain are more indicative of an inevitable or incomplete abortion, where the pregnancy is no longer viable and the body is actively trying to expel the uterine contents. In a threatened abortion, the symptoms are typically milder.Choice B rationaleA closed cervix upon examination is a key finding in a threatened abortion. It indicates that the uterus is not yet dilating or effacing, suggesting that the pregnancy might still be maintained. Cervical dilation signifies progression towards abortion.Choice C rationaleMild to moderate lower abdominal cramping is a common symptom of a threatened abortion. These cramps result from uterine irritability and contractions as the body reacts to potential pregnancy loss. The intensity is less severe than in later stages of abortion.Choice D rationalePassage of fetal tissue is a definitive sign of an incomplete or complete abortion, meaning the pregnancy has already been lost and the products of conception are being expelled. This would not be expected in a threatened abortion.Choice E rationaleBright red vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of a threatened abortion, indicating disruption at the decidual-trophoblastic interface. The bleeding can range from spotting to light bleeding and suggests a potential threat to the pregnancy.
