Module 3: Risk Factors for FASD

Test Your Knowledge Questions Posttest - Module 3

Identify the correct statement that lists risk factors for FASD.

	A.	Maternal drinking patterns, fraternal drinking patterns, maternal lifestyle factors, such as nutrition and parity, and timing of alcohol consumption during pregnancy
	B.	Maternal drinking patterns, genetic susceptibility, maternal lifestyle factors, such as nutrition and parity, fraternal drinking patterns, and timing of alcohol consumption during pregnancy
	C.	Maternal drinking patterns, genetic susceptibility, maternal lifestyle factors, such as nutrition and parity, maternal absorption and metabolism of alcohol, and timing of alcohol consumption during pregnancy
	D.	Maternal drinking patterns, maternal smoking, extended periods of sleeplessness during pregnancy, and maternal absorption and metabolism of alcohol Binge drinking (drinking 4 four or more drinks in 1 sitting) about 2 hours) has the same effect on the developing fetus as having 1 one drink per day for 4 days.

Differences in drinking patterns can be crucial in determining the effects of alcohol use during pregnancy.

	True
	False

Binge drinking (drinking four or more drinks in about 2 hours) has the same effect on the developing fetus as having one drink per day for 4 days.

	True
	False

Children of drinking mothers over 30 are more vulnerable to being born with an FASD.

	True
	False

Timing of alcohol consumption can affect fetal development and can include the following defect(s):

	A.	Defects to several major organ systems
	B.	Growth retardation
	C.	Brain abnormalities
	D.	All of the above
	E.	None of the above

If a woman binge drinks during a critical stage in early pregnancy, the fetal brain can be significantly harmed. These structural abnormalities may result in which of the following behavioral consequence(s):

	A.	Attention deficits
	B.	Impulse control problems
	C.	Hyperactivity
	D.	All of the above

Organ systems are most vulnerable to damage by alcohol during the period of most dynamic development. Based on animal models, this most likely occurs during:

	A.	Weeks 2-7
	B.	Weeks 3-8
	C.	Weeks 2-5
	D.	Weeks 3-9

The growth of a fetus is more affected during the last trimester and alcohol consumption during this time can put the fetus at risk for growth deficiencies.

	True
	False

Only maternal alcohol use during pregnancy can cause FASD.

	True
	False

10.

Genes may play a role in how a woman metabolizes alcohol.

	True
	False
