Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Common facial anomalies associated with FAS include microcephaly, short palpebral fissures (the openings between the eyelids), epicanthal folds, flat midface with a low nasal bridge, indistinct philtrum (groove between the nose and upper lip), and a thin upper lip. Microcephaly is present, not hydrocephaly. Central nervous system impairment includes a high activity level, not a low one.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Mature woman who become pregnant often have issues with conception and can experience infertility. There is no causal relationship between maternal age and hypotension during pregnancy. Women older than 35 are more likely to have obstetric complications for a variety of reasons. Women older than 35 are more likely to develop chromosomal abnormalities, specifically Down syndrome, which is trisomy 21.
