Question

about 30% of the infants born to women taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) during pregnancy will have
a. autism spectrum disorder
b. postnatal adaptation syndrome
c intellectual disabilities
d persistent pulmonary hypertension

Explanation:

Postnatal adaptation syndrome (PNAS) is a set of symptoms that can occur in infants exposed to SSRIs in utero. Symptoms may include jitteriness, irritability, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, etc. Research indicates that about 30% of such infants may experience PNAS. Autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, and persistent pulmonary hypertension are not typically associated with a 30% occurrence rate specifically due to in - utero SSRI exposure in the way described in the question.

Answer:

b. postnatal adaptation syndrome
