ANS: C
An incomplete abortion is the expulsion of some, but not all, products of conception prior to 20 weeks. Fetal death with retention of all products of conception prior to 20 weeks is called a missed abortion. Complete expulsion of all products of conception before 20 weeks is a complete spontaneous abortion. If a patient chooses to have an abortion, it is termed an elective abortion.
