Question

Explain the environmental factors presented in the Case Study, as well as others that may be present but not specifically identified in the Case Study that might affect Sam’s development. With the environmental factors you explained, further explain what you think the best case scenario and the worst case scenario might be for Sam’s short-term developmental outcomes and explain why?

Answer 1

Answer:

**The "Case Study" is included in the picture file attached below.

Any substance a pregnant mother consumes has direct effects on the baby (fetus) in the womb; since Jane (mother in the case study) drank across her pregnancy, the baby probably has "Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder", and of course the stressful situation about the father been fired added environmental tension as well.

Worst case scenario, tension multiplies due Roberto not having a stable income status, Jane would have to work harder and even a 2nd job, the baby health status complicates tragically due to the lack of medical attention and the stressful environment.

Best case scenario, Jane's mother helps to ease the situation by joining in since they all have a good relationship, Sam's potential FASD is easily managed and fixed, everybody learns and grows from the experience and Sam's development turns out to have a good outcome with a solid family.
