Question 2 of 5
Which is the most dangerous effect on the fetus of a patient who smokes cigarettes while pregnant?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Smoking cigarettes during pregnancy is known to have harmful effects on the fetus, with one of the most serious consequences being intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). IUGR occurs when the fetus does not grow at a normal rate inside the womb, leading to a lower birth weight. This can have long-term implications on the overall health and development of the baby, including increased risk of various health problems later in life such as respiratory issues, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders. In severe cases, IUGR can even result in stillbirth or neonatal death. Therefore, it is crucial for pregnant individuals to avoid smoking to protect the health and well-being of their unborn child.
