Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Methamphetamines are stimulants with vasoconstrictive characteristics similar to cocaine and are used similarly. As is the case with cocaine users, methamphetamine users are urged to immediately stop all use during pregnancy. Unfortunately, because methamphetamine users are extremely psychologically addicted, the rate of relapse is very high.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Cystic fibrosis occurs in about 1 in 3000 Caucasian live births.
