Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Fresh or frozen sperm can be used for in vitro fertilization. A surrogate mother is not needed for this procedure. Often, more than one attempt is needed before successful implantation occurs. The success of in vitro fertilization is not related to the incidence of ovarian cancer in the family.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Feelings of worthlessness and sadness are suggestive of a depressive disorder.
B Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) manifests repetitive unwanted thoughts
(obsessions) or ritualistic actions (compulsions) or both.

and shortness of breath. These symptoms may be accompanied by a feeling of
impending doom.

low grades, rebellious or aggressive behavior, and excessive dependence on peer
influence are behaviors that may indicate substance abuse.
