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.
