Abstract
Multiple factors are involved in the decision to terminate an unplanned pregnancy. Gestational age is the most important factor affecting the risk of abortion; after six weeks gestation, the earlier the abortion is performed, the safer. Currently, 90% to 95% of abortions occur within 12 weeks of gestation. However, abortion availability and accessibility remain a problem. A discussion of abortion incidence, procedures, complications, and pre- and postabortal evaluation is presented. Implications for the nurse practitioner are reviewed.
