Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The cause of neural tube defects is unknown, but there is strong evidence to support the use of folic acid supplementation for prevention. Smoking cessation and aerobic exercise are general health recommendations unrelated to neural tube defects. Increased calcium intake is important for fetal growth and development, but it is not linked to preventing neural tube defects.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Home births have many advantages, such as having more control over the birth, being the least expensive option, creating a good relationship with a midwife, minimizing interferences, and having more flexibility in the comfort of your home. However, the limited availability of pain medication and danger to the mother and baby if an emergency arises are two of the main disadvantages. Thus, it is not considered the safest method for delivery
