Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B
Teens who lack the support, security, and love of a family home are more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors, including sex at an early age. Incarcerated teens are the most vulnerable group. Teens from middle-class, two-parent homes; teens who are able to obtain reliable information and who do not receive the message that sex is a taboo subject; and teens with religious affiliations have lower rates of teen pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Effects of tobacco use during pregnancy are well documented and predispose to premature rupture of the membranes, preterm labor, placental abruption, placenta previa, and infants who are small for gestational age. These effects continue well into childhood and are associated with upper respiratory problems, such as infections, asthma, and wheezing. Exposure to tobacco products is not associated with congenital diabetes or gestational hypertension
