TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to

Jenifer Womble-Ericson, Eileen Murtha, Laura Larimore, Lauro Esquliona III, Ashlie Johnson, Ellen Kaye, Tracey Christilles, Katrina Snider, Karen Frantz-Fry, Patsy Ray, Amanda Skeen, Alisa Lagier, Cindi Maurice, Marion Frank, Margaret Kullenberg, Joanna Blau, Zenaida Lemus, and Cindy Terebush who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:

Always remembering that correlation does not mean “causation", exposure to this commonly used pain reliever in the womb may increase a child’s risk for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, suggests a study funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality. Children exposed to higher levels of it in the womb were at almost four times the risk of developing autism and it was linked to almost three times the risk of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when they were tested at around nine-years-old. The results come from a study of 996 births in Boston, MA. What is this commonly used pain reliever?

Answer: TYLENOL-ACETAMINOPHEN

This week's trivia question: This neurological disorder characterized by the inability to recognize faces. The term comes from the Greek words for “face” and “lack of knowledge.” Depending upon the degree of impairment, some people with this neurological disorder may only have difficulty recognizing familiar faces, while others will be unable to discriminate between unknown faces. Other people may not be able to distinguish a face as being different from an object. Some people are unable to recognize their own faces. What is the name of this neurological disorder?

If you know the answer to this week's trivia questions, email it to us at contactus@naset.org by February 13th, 2023. If you are correct, you will be acknowledged in next week's NASET's Week in Review
