Question

Alcohol is known to have damaging effects on fetal development and can cause a range of physical and cognitive impairments, including facial deformities, heart defects, and stunted growth. While other drugs may also cause harm to a developing fetus, alcohol is particularly dangerous as it can easily pass through the placenta and affect the developing brain and other organs. Nicotine, cocaine, and marijuana can also have negative effects on fetal development, but they are not typically associated with the specific set of symptoms described in this scenario.
