non viable + no ceervical dilation + minimal bleeding = missed abortion

I am going with A too, missed abortion.
What's the next best step in the management?

a couple of remarks ro maty...
1st) any Rh neg gravidas gets rhogam when scheduling a d&c..by the way..mode is suction d&c
2nd) since this is a missed abortion..and the fact that she has sought help....i very much doubt that she will go with a dead fetus for more than a month...and even then, DIC would still be a rare occurence
3rd) you could also treat the patient with mefepristone as a medical rx instead of surg rx, but chances of POC is more in med rx
