Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cluster of abnormalities described in the question is characteristic of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), which occur as a result of maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Cocaine-induced syndromes and embryonic nicotine syndromes may also cause fetal abnormalities, but the specific presentation described in the question is more consistent with FASDs. "Drug-induced fetal disorders" is a generic term that could refer to a variety of fetal abnormalities caused by different drugs, so it is not as specific as choosing FASDs.
