Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Feedback:
Adolescent pregnancies account for 10 of all births and as such adolescent pregnancy is a major health problem. Peer pressure to become sexually active is a factor that contributes to adolescent pregnancy. Although the incidence of teenage pregnancy has steadily declined since the early 1990s, it continues to be higher in the United States than in any other industrialized country (Alan Guttmacher Institute, 2012b). Teen birth rates in the United States have declined but remain high, especially among Black and Hispanic teens and in southern states. The Latina teen birth rate is the highest of any ethnic group in the United States. The most important impact lies in the psychosocial area as it contributes to a loss of self-esteem, a destruction of life projects, and the maintenance of the circle of poverty. Two-thirds of all teen pregnancies occur among 1819-year olds.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Putting newborns to sleep on the back has decreased the incidence of SIDS by 50 to 60. Other recommendations to decrease SIDS include using a pacifier, breastfeeding, and having routine immunizations. Removing the pacifier, bottle feeding, and refusing routine immunizations after birth all increase the infant's risk for experiencing SIDS.
