Inevitable abortion occurs when:

  • A. The ovum dies in utero and the decidua capsularis remains intact.
  • B. The cervix is open, and the products of conception are about to be expelled.
  • C. The products of conception are expelled before the 20th week of gestation.
  • D. The fetus dies and is expelled in the first trimester.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Inevitable abortion occurs when the cervix is open, and the products of conception are about to be expelled. This is a critical point in the process of spontaneous abortion, indicating that expulsion of the products of conception is imminent. Choice A is incorrect as it describes a missed abortion where the ovum dies but the decidua capsularis remains intact. Choice C is incorrect as it describes an incomplete abortion where the products of conception are expelled before the completion of 20 weeks of gestation. Choice D is incorrect as it describes a missed abortion where the fetus dies and is expelled in the first trimester.
