- Should the woman who gives birth to a child with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) be penalized in some manner? The answer to this question is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no, however. The child will require economic and psychosocial support, possibly for the rest of his or her life, an expenditure that might cost many tens of thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of dollars over the child’s lifespan. This will be necessitated because the child’s struggles were entirely preventable, had the mother abstained from alcohol use during her pregnancy. The mother’s alcohol use behaviors during pregnancy are the sole determinant whether the infant develops FAS. Many infants who have FAS have a mild form of the disorder that might not even be recognized by a physician with great experience in working with children with FAS. Even the most severe form can be difficult to diagnose at times. The subtle forms of FAS would be exceptionally difficult to definitively diagnose, and the danger…arrow_forwardIdentify the difference between verbal, written and implied consent.

Recently Bernard started dating Kim (who is 39 years old). For the past 6 months, the two have been on many dates, two trips to the Caribbean, and many romantic restaurant dinners. Bernard comes to the health clinic in Manhattan and reports having difficulty maintaining an erection. He says that he is having problems with his “plumbing” too. He explains that he dribbles urine and it feels like he keeps wetting his pants. He asks for an explanation on why this could be happening. He states: “One good thing, at least I don’t have to worry about getting Kim pregnant!” How can you offer support to Bernard and relate his symptoms to the normal effects of aging on the male reproductive system? 2.

Some of those reasons are, 1) many students lack the experience of sexual activity and knowledge of the risks associated with unprotected sex. 2) The young age and lack of emotional maturity to handle sexual intimacy issues in relationships; and the inabilities to discuss the topic of protection from contracting STI’S, result seeing themselves as “untouchable,” and not taking the risks seriously. 3) Another reason is attributed to the underdeveloped part of the adolescent brain which evaluates risk. 4) Adolescents under the influence of alcohol or drugs, lack the inability to understand the risks of sexual behaviors and the negative consequences, along with the complications of medications. 5) They don’t receive sexual education at home from parents, about the risk of contracting STI’S.arrow_forward
