Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: One implication of maternal asthma is that the infant is at risk for prematurity.
Rationale 2: One implication of maternal asthma is that the infant is at risk for low birth weight.
Rationale 3: One implication of maternal asthma is that the infant is at risk for hypoxia if the mother has an exacerbation of her asthma.
Rationale 4: Congenital anomalies can occur with anti-epileptic medications. None are known for asthma medications.
Rationale 5: Perinatal transfer of asthma does not occur.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Sadistic rapists inflict pain on victims; this torture and suffering create pleasure for the rapist. The assailant often has an antisocial personality and enjoys the torture and mutilation. Victim and assailant are usually strangers, but the assault has been planned.
Rationale 2: Anger rape involves brutality and degradation of the victim, and expresses the rapist's sense of rage and unexpressed anger. Attacks on older women are often anger attacks.
Rationale 3: Power rape provides a sense of dominance and mastery over the victim for the rapist, who often believes the victim enjoys the assault.
Rationale 4: Anxiety is not associated with a type of rape.
