Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, D

Physical signs of substance abuse include dilated or constricted pupils, inflamed nasal mucosa, evidence of needle track marks or abscesses, poor nutritional status, slurred speech or staggering gait, and an odor of alcohol on the breath. Frequent accidents or falls are behavioral signs of substance abuse. Wearing a jeans and t-shirt is not indicative of substance abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Maternal cocaine consumption during pregnancy puts the woman at risk for abruptio placentae. Cocaine use is also associated with preterm birth, low birth weight, neonatal irritability, neonatal depression, SIDS, and developmental delays. Teratogens are medications known to adversely affect normal cellular development in the embryo or fetus. Folic acid is necessary for normal neural tube development. Genetic history does not affect the risk for spontaneous abortion.
