A friend in your dormitory, a freshman, tells you that she just discovered she is 3 months pregnant. You know that since she came to college she has been experimenting with recreational drugs. Circle the best advice you could give her, and explain your choice. (a) She must stop taking the drugs, but they could not have affected her fetus during these first few months of her pregnancy. (b) Harmful substances usually cannot pass from mother to embryo, so she can keep using drugs. (c) There could be defects in the fetus, so she should stop using drugs and visit a doctor as soon as possible. (d) If she has not taken any drugs in the last week, she is OK.
What kinds of studies and information are required to determine whether a man’s exposure to a potential teratogen can cause birth defects years later? How would such analysis differ if a woman were exposed?

- Suppose that in the near future, you are a prenatal care provider. In the most recent ultrasound checkup on the expecting mother, you unfortunately found that the fetus is suffering a neural tube defect in the form of anencephaly. Seeing as the mother is still in the 12th week of pregnancy or the 1st trimester, the pregnancy can still be terminated via medical means. How would you explain to the parents the situation they are in?arrow_forwardA pregnant patient who is at 32 weeks’ gestation has a cold and calls the office to ask about taking an over-the-counter medication that is rated as pregnancy category A. Which answer by the nurse is correct?a) “This drug causes problems in the human fetus, so you should not take this medication.”b) “This drug may cause problems in the human fetus, but nothing has been proven in clinical trials. It is best not to take this medication.”c) “This drug has not caused problems in animals, but no testing has been done in humans. It is probably safe to take.”d) “Studies indicate that there is no risk to the human fetus, so it is okay to take this medication as directed if you need it.”arrow_forward10a) A female is exposed to a teratogen during the first and second month of pregnancy - before she even realizes she is pregnant.

The most appropriate explanation is that the pregnancy test detects the presence of _______ in the urine. Question 22 options: a) Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) b) Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) c) Progesterone d) Luteinizing hormone (LH)arrow_forwardIsabella, 28, and Omar, 30, have been together for three years. A year ago, they decided they wanted to have a baby, and they stopped using birth control. At first, they did not pay attention to the timing of their sexual activity in relation to Isabella’s menstrual cycle, but after six months passed without Isabella becoming pregnant, they decided to try to maximize their efforts. They knew that in order for a woman to become pregnant, the man’s sperm must encounter the woman’s egg, which is typically released once a month through a process called ovulation. They had also heard that for the average woman, ovulation occurs around day 14 of the menstrual cycle. To maximize their chances of conception, they tried to have sexual intercourse on day 14 of Isabella’s menstrual cycle each month. After several months of trying this method, Isabella is still not pregnant. She is concerned that she may not be ovulating on a regular basis because her menstrual cycles are irregular and often…arrow_forward
