Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When a young woman is pregnant, sexually transmitted infections can cause premature rupture of membranes, premature labor, and postpartum infection. Periodic screening during pregnancy should be done. Transmission of sexually transmitted infections can occur during pregnancy. There is no indication that transmission will cause a need for the infant to require immediate as-sistance following birth. Transmission of a sexually transmitted infection to the father is de-pendent on the father's sexual activity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Having a history of sexual abuse increases a young woman's risk for early sexual experiences and pregnancy. Parental higher education, family communication, and good family health practices have been associated with decreased sexual risk behaviors. Parents who are extremely demanding and controlling or neglectful and who have low expectations are least successful in instilling pa-rental values in their children. Parents who have high demands for their children to act maturely and who offer warmth and understanding with parental rules have children more likely to exhibit appropriate social behavior and to delay early sexual experiences and pregnancy.
