Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Cocaine and crack use during pregnancy causes vasoconstriction of the uterine vessels and adversely affects blood flow to the fetus. Cocaine use in pregnancy is associated with spontaneous abortion, abruptio placentae, stillbirth, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), fetal distress, meconium staining, and preterm birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most critical time for brain development is between 3 and 16 weeks of gestation. However, the fetal brain continues to differentiate and grow rapidly until at least the first 2 years of life.
