A substance-dependent pregnant woman is admitted with the diagnosis of possible placental abruption. Which substance would most likely cause this effect during pregnancy?
a. Alcohol c. Marijuana
b. Cocaine d. Phencyclidine (PCP)
B
A complication of cocaine use during pregnancy is abruptio placentae. Alcohol abuse can result in fetal alcohol syndrome, not abruptio. Because the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy are not fully understood, abruptio placentae has not been identified as a complication of the use of this substance. Abruptio placentae is not a complication of PCP use.
