A woman gave birth to her first pregnancy, a fetus at 18 weeks' gestation, last week. She is in the clinic for follow-up, and notices that her chart states she has had 1 abortion. The client is upset over the use of this word.
 
  How can the nurse best explain this terminology to the client? 1. Abortion is the medical term for all pregnancies that end before 20 weeks.
  2. Abortion is the word we use when someone has miscarried.
  3. Abortion is how we label babies born in the second trimester.
  4. Abortion is what we call all babies who are born dead.
