Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most common form of violence women are exposed to worldwide. In the United States, approximately 25 of women (or one in four) have been the victim of intimate partner violence, including over 324,000 pregnant women. IPV is more common than preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, both of which are significant problems in pregnant women. Many women cope with this violence by turning to substance abuse, both prescription and nonprescription. Shockingly, IPV may occur for the first time during pregnancy.
