Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C

Fetal development can be altered by maternal age (with risk greater in those under age 15 or over age 35), substance abuse, inadequate prenatal care, inadequate maternal nutrition, and maternal substance abuse. Congenital abnormalities and poor neonatal nutrition do not affect fetal development.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Piaget owns the formal operational theory stage that is characterized by the use of abstract thinking and deductive reasoning. Freud's theory of the genital stage indicates sexual interest can be expressed in overt sexual relationships. Sexual pressures and conflicts typically cause turmoil as the adolescent makes adjustments in relationships. Identity versus role confusion is Erikson's stage for adolescents. The stage of gender role acceptance belongs to Havighurst.
