Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5
Side effects of selective estrogen modulator medications include hot flashes, blood clots, loss of interest in sex, and a higher risk of other cancers. Drop in blood pressure and weight gain are not side effects associated with this classification of medication.

Answer to Question 2

Ultrasound scanning is used to identify the fetal conditions of spina bifida, hydrocephaly, and microcephaly. Ultrasound scanning is not used to identify fetal diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, or gastritis.
