Douching is not recommended after an abortion as it can increase the risk of infection. Returning for a follow-up examination after four weeks is important to ensure the pregnancy was successfully terminated and there are no complications. A fever is not a normal post-abortion symptom, so C is incorrect. Abdominal cramping and/or backache may be expected after an abortion, but if they are severe or persistent, it is important to report them to a physician to rule out any complications. Therefore, the best choice is D.
