Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
Alcohol use during pregnancy is a serious public health concern because of the multiple deleterious, lifelong effects of alcohol on the child. These lifelong effects include low IQ, hyperactivity, short attention span, distinctive facial anomalies, and structural brain defects. Down syndrome is the result of a genetic defect and is not associated with alcohol use in the mother. Type 1 diabetes is also not associated with alcohol use in the mother.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Tolerance is the diminished physical and/or psychological response to effects of alcohol or illicit substances. A person develops tolerance when he or she needs to use higher doses of a substance to achieve the desired effect. Withdrawal is reduction in prolonged substance use that results in problematic behavioral, physiological, and cognitive changes. Feeling like one cannot function without a substance is a sign of substance dependence. Praising the medication and requesting another refill could be a sign of substance dependence.
