Answer to Question 1

1
1. Correct. Prenatal depression has been found by Beck to have the greatest likely effect. Sin-gle-mother and low socioeconomic status are small-relation predictors, as is an unwanted preg-nancy.
2, 3, 4. Incorrect. Prenatal depression has been found by Beck to have the greatest likely effect. Single-mother and low socioeconomic status are small-relation predictors, as is an unwanted pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

2
1, 3, 4. Incorrect. One problem that can interfere with milk consumption is lactose intolerance, which is the inability to digest milk sugar because of the lack of the enzyme lactose in the small intestine. Milk consumption may cause abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea in such people, although many lactose-intolerant individuals can tolerate small amounts of milk without symptoms.
2. Correct. These symptoms are consistent with lactose intolerance.
