Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vacuum aspiration is the preferred method for first-trimester abortions as it is a safe and efficient procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. Dilation and curettage (B) is less commonly used as it has a higher risk of complications such as uterine perforation and infection. Dilation and evacuation (C) is typically used for second-trimester abortions. Induced labor using a saline solution (D) is a rare method and is not commonly used due to the higher risk of complications compared to other methods.
