Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
For a teenager to successfully adapt and fulfill the role of being a mother, she must achieve four major developmental tasks: gain acceptance of pregnancy, set goals, view self as a mother, and grow up. Maintaining freedom is antithetical to growing up and accepting the responsibility of motherhood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Approximately 3 of pregnant women use nonprescription drugs such as cocaine, Ecstasy, marijuana, methamphetamines, and heroin. Ecstasy can cause congenital abnormalities such as cleft palate. Marijuana can cause intrauterine growth restriction. Methamphetamines can cause spontaneous abortion. Cocaine can cause placental abruption (not previa). Heroin can lead to spontaneous abortion, intrauterine growth restriction, preterm labor/birth, or stillbirth.
