Answer to Question 1

A
Parents may or may not discuss reproduction and sexual issues with their teens. Schools may or may not have sex education in the curriculum. The content may be inaccurate or superficial and lead to misinterpretation by the adolescent, so that she may have no understanding of how pregnancy occurs. Because the adolescent may have inadequate coping skills to manage the transition to parenthood and parenting responsibilities, she may have difficulty establish-ing her independence as a mother and relinquishing her role as daughter. Many adolescent mothers tend to have closely spaced repeated pregnancies, creating family instability, im-paired parenting, and inability to form a stable relationship.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Cervical cancer starts with abnormal changes in the cellular lining or surface of the cervix. Typically these changes occur in the squamouscolumnar junction of the cervix. Here, cylindrical secretory epithelial cells (columnar) meet the protective flat epithelial cells (squamous) from the outer cervix and vagina in what is termed the transformation zone.
