Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
IPV occurs to approximately 42.4 million women each year. IPV occurs frequently during pregnancy. IPV victims come from all different backgrounds and socioeconomic classes. Intimate partner violence is a more common cause of injury than automobile accidents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A school-based mothers' program that provides peer support is important. Home schooling, alternative education, and continuing mainstream high school classes would not provide as much peer support.
