Alcohol use during pregnancy is toxic to the fetus and can affect normal development.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A negative calorie balance occurs when calorie output exceeds intake, whether the imbalance is from decreasing calorie intake, increasing physical activity, or preferably both.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4
Rationale: The intake of any amount of alcohol is not recommended during pregnancy. Alcohol acts as a direct toxin on the developing fetal brain and can cause permanent neurocognitive damage. Alcohol constricts blood vessels and limits the amount of blood flowing to the placenta. Any alcohol ingested during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder which causes physical defects and mental and behavioral disabilities. Binge drinking places the fetus at greatest risk. Criticizing the young woman will close the doors of communication.
