Answer to Question 1

3, 10
Kick counts provide reassurance of fetal life and help mothers take responsibility for fetal surveillance.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
For many adolescent couples, use of a dual method, such as a vaginally inserted spermicide by the girl and a condom by her partner, is a preferred method of birth control. Postcoital douching is not a method of birth control. Intrauterine devices are rarely used for early adolescents because the uterus may still be small. Ovulation suppressants are not recommended until a female has been menstruating for at least 2 years.
