Correct answer: A — Provide non-directive options counselling and referral pathways

Unplanned pregnancy care should be non-directive and cover continuing pregnancy, adoption and abortion referral pathways. The clinician should support timely access without steering the decision. Absence of pain or bleeding means urgent ectopic assessment is not the immediate issue, though safety-netting is needed.
