Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Many health disparities exist in America, despite huge outlays of money. A major problem is that health resources are not distributed evenly across demographic and geographic groups. This leads to such problems as the high rate at which African American babies die before age 1, and the high incidence of sudden infant death syndrome in American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Asian American babies do not have the highest rate of preterm birth, and European American women do not have double the number of low-birth-weight babies of other groups.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Folic acid supplementation helps to prevent certain birth defects. A fetus's exposure to harm could potentially be prevented if a woman were counseled prior to pregnancy about the adverse effects of alcohol, tobacco, toxoplasmosis, and other teratogens in her home or workplace. During the preconception period, it is too early for the woman to take iron supplements (unless she is anemic), and debating infant feeding methods is not the priority at this time.
