Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Adolescent pregnancies are at increased risk for anemia, nutritional deficiencies, pregnancy-associated hypertension, HIV and other STDs, short interval until next pregnancy, and depression. They do not have a higher incidence of placenta previa, abruptio placentae, or incompetent cervix.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The battered woman often has multiple injuries in various stages of healing. It is more normal for the woman to have a flat affect. A loud and hostile argument is not always an indication of battering. Often the batterer will be attentive and refuse to leave the woman's bedside.
