ANS: C
Short-term complications from surgical abortions include fever, abdominal pain, prolonged or heavy bleeding with large clots, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, and no menstrual period within 6 weeks. The woman should be advised to come in for a checkup. Cytotec is used to help dilate the cervix and is inappropriate here. The woman does not need to go to the emergency department.
