Aging And End-of-Life Concepts Practice Test

A miscarriage that occurs between 12 and 20 weeks of gestation is called:

Early miscarriage Recurrent miscarriage Late miscarriage Stillbirth

Correct Answer:

Late miscarriage

Explanation:

The idea being tested is terminology for miscarriages by how far along the pregnancy is. A loss that happens after the first trimester but before viability is described as a late miscarriage. The window of 12 to 20 weeks fits this category, placing it after early pregnancy losses (which occur before 12 weeks) and before stillbirth (which is defined as fetal death after about 20 weeks). Recurrent miscarriage refers to multiple pregnancy losses, not the timing of a single loss. So the described scenario is best labeled a late miscarriage.
