Answer to Question 1

D
Caffeine is safe when used in moderate amounts during pregnancy. Alcohol causes fetal alcohol syndrome and there is no safe level of consumption. Nicotine (from cigarettes) increases risk for several adverse outcomes including prematurity, low birth weight, SGA, stillbirth, placenta previa (location in lower uterine area), abruptio placentae (separation from uterine wall), and, postnatally, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Isotretinoin is an acne medication that causes fetal malformations.
