Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale 1: Failure to complete the full course of treatment can result in prolonged illness and development of drug resistance.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: When an infant is born with fetal alcohol syndrome, it does not indicate the mother is an alcoholic or abuses alcohol, because safe levels of alcohol ingestion have not been determined. Children born with this disorder will require special attention to meet nutritional needs, because they are often fussy and poor feeders.
