Question 4 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

Severe malnutrition of the mother affects the development of the fetus with all of the following problems except __________.

Answer
A
neurological deficits
B
low birth weight
C
psychological disorders
D
birth complications

Explanation

Severe maternal malnutrition can restrict fetal growth, leading to low birth weight, and may interfere with brain development, causing neurological deficits. It can also increase the risk of complications during birth. Psychological disorders are not typically listed as a direct fetal-development consequence of maternal malnutrition, so that is the exception.
