d. hemorrhage is the major concern

Rationale: Severe bleeding occurs if the fallopian tube ruptures.
The recommended treatment is to remove the pregnancy before hemorrhaging.
If the tube must be removed, her fertility will decrease but she will not be infertile.
A D&C is done on the inside of the uterine cavity. The ectopic is located within the tubes.
