Answer to Question 1

Students should describe a woman of low socioeconomic status without access to
good nutrition and prenatal care, who smokes, drinks, and has had a short interval
between children. Risks can be reduced by avoidance of drugs, good nutrition, and
good prenatal care beginning as soon as pregnancy is confirmed.

Answer to Question 2

Behavioral teratogens are substances and conditions that increase the risk of harm
to the brain. Consequences of exposure to behavioral teratogens include
hyperactivity, learning disabilities, and antisocial behavior.
