Question

which statement accurately describes medical abortions? multiple choice - medical abortion rate has a success rate of 85.9 percent. - medical abortion can be used during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy. - medical abortion includes surgery in conjunction with mifepristone. - mifepristone is the first medication taken in the typical process for medical abortion.

Explanation:

Medical abortion typically uses mifepristone first (to block progesterone, ending pregnancy support) followed by misoprostol. The success rate is higher than 85-9% (often 95%+ in early pregnancy); it’s usually limited to ~10 weeks (not 16); and it does not involve surgery.

Answer:

D. Mifepristone is the first medication taken in the typical process for medical abortion.
