Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Substance abuse during pregnancy is associated with low-birthweight infants, preterm labor, abortion, intrauterine growth restriction, abruptio placentae, neurobehavioral abnormalities, and long-term childhood developmental consequences. Excessive weight gain, higher pain tolerance, and longer gestational periods are not associated with substance abuse.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
The effects of living with a seizure disorder can be devastating. This child needs support to maintain his self-esteem. While corrective surgery is possible, it would be performed only once. Physical, occupational, speech, and hyperventilation therapy are not indicated for treatment of epilepsy.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
