APA Review – What is APA?
APA = American Psychological Association
National standard for the layout of an academic paper and gives a universal method for referencing sources used in these types of papers.
Please remember, we need to use APA in our discussions, seminar option 2, and assignments.
![Page 26: Nancy R. Mears, MS, CHES, PAPHS. Seminar 1 - Outline 1. Get to know each other 2. Go over syllabus 3. Answer your questions 4. Pre-Pregnancy Physical](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/56649e0d5503460f94af66ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
APA - Citations We cite another author’s data to avoid
plagiarism, to give him or her credit for their work, and to make it easy for your reader to do follow-up research.
You must, absolutely must, give credit to the original author. Failure to do so results in plagiarism. Would you want someone else taking credit for your hard work? Research scientists, government officials, and other experts don’t like it either.

Smoking and Pregnancy Problems
Placenta previa (a low-lying placenta that covers part or all of the opening of the uterus)
Placental abruption (in which the placenta peels away, partially or almost completely, from the uterine wall before delivery)
Both can result in heavy bleeding during delivery that can endanger mother and baby, although cesarean delivery can prevent most deaths.

Alcohol passes through placenta
Effects can range from mild to severe
