Explain five factors that lead to adolescent pregnancy and define criminal abortion.

Another one Treasure — let's solve it. Here are the answers to the questions in your image: b) Explain five factors that lead to adolescent pregnancy. 1. Peer Influence: Adolescents are highly susceptible to the influence of their friends. Pressure from peers to engage in sexual activity can lead to early sexual initiation and unprotected sex, increasing the risk of pregnancy. 2. Lack of Proper Sex Education: Insufficient or inaccurate information about contraception, safe sex practices, and the consequences of unprotected sex leaves adolescents unprepared to make informed decisions, leading to higher rates of unintended pregnancies. 3. Media Influence: Exposure to media (TV, internet, social media) that often glamorizes sexual activity without showing its potential consequences can normalize early sexual behavior and reduce perceptions of risk among adolescents. 4. Curiosity: The natural curiosity about sex during adolescence, combined with a lack of accurate information or guidance, can lead to experimentation without understanding the full implications, including the risk of pregnancy. 5. Rape/Sexual Abuse: Involuntary sexual acts, such as rape or sexual abuse, are a significant cause of adolescent pregnancy. Victims often have no control over the situation and may not have access to immediate medical or support services. 4. a) What is 'criminal abortion'? Criminal abortion refers to the illegal termination of a pregnancy, typically performed by untrained individuals or in unsafe conditions, outside of legal and medical regulations. b) Discuss five effects of criminal abortion. 1. Severe Hemorrhage (Bleeding): Unsafe procedures can cause excessive bleeding, which can lead to shock, organ damage, and even death if not treated promptly. 2. Infection: Non-sterile instruments and environments can introduce bacteria into the uterus, leading to severe infections (sepsis) that can cause infertility, chronic pain, or be fatal. 3. Uterine Perforation: The uterus can be punctured or torn by sharp instruments, leading to internal bleeding, damage to other organs, and requiring emergency surgery. 4. Incomplete Abortion: Parts of the pregnancy tissue may remain in the uterus, causing ongoing bleeding, infection, and requiring further medical intervention. 5. Psychological Trauma: Women undergoing criminal abortions often experience significant emotional distress, guilt, anxiety, and depression due to the clandestine nature of the procedure, fear of legal repercussions, and the physical pain endured. 5. Mention five danger signs after an abortion. 1. Heavy Vaginal Bleeding: Soaking more than two sanitary pads in an hour for two consecutive hours, or passing large blood clots. 2. Severe Abdominal Pain: Intense or worsening pain in the lower abdomen that is not relieved by pain medication. 3. Fever and Chills: A temperature of 38^ (100.4^) or higher, accompanied by chills, which can indicate an infection. 4. Foul-Smelling Vaginal Discharge: Discharge with an unpleasant odor, which is a sign of infection. 5. Persistent Nausea, Vomiting, or Diarrhea: These symptoms, especially when accompanied by other danger signs, can indicate a serious complication. Drop the next question.
