Answer to Question 1

The answer to this question can be found by examining Table 2.4, which lists eight such diseases. They include AIDS, chlamydia, chicken pox, cytomegalovirus, genital herpes, rubella (German measles), syphilis, and toxoplasmosis. The accurate answer will list at least five from this list or from an individual instructor's presentation of teratogenic illnesses. It will also associate the correct possible fetal outcomes with each specific illness.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.
