Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Questions A, B, and D are appropriate as they directly inquire about the use of substances that could affect the newborn's health. Prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as alcohol, are important to assess for potential impacts on the baby. Coffee or energy drinks (C) are not typically classified as drugs or alcohol, and gestational diabetes (E) is a medical condition, not a substance use question.
