Teratogen
Assignment Objective
Prepare a college lecture that illustrates how a particular teratogen affects a critical trimester of fetal development.
Preparation
Teratogens are toxins that affect prenatal development, and it can be found everywhere in our daily lives. Some examples of well-known teratogens are cleaning supplies, drugs, alcohol.
Use the Capella University Library and the Internet to research scholarly literature and medically-reviewed websites, such as Mayo Clinic and The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), for information about teratogens and their effects on prenatal development.
Source Assessment
The websites listed in the resources for each assessment in this course are examples of reputable sources. When identifying reputable Internet sources, consider the following questions:
- Who is the author? Is the individual or organization well-known in their field?
- Who publishes the information? Is the publisher the same as the author?
- Is the source reliable?
- Does the source have a bias, or intent?
Instructions
Alcohol and tobacco products are widely known and well-publicized teratogens. For purposes of this assessment, select a teratogen other than alcohol or tobacco. Assume the role in the following scenario.
Scenario
You are teaching at a local college and want to provide your students with an example of how a specific teratogen affects a critical trimester of fetal development, considering the timing, dosage, duration, and genetics. In 2–3-page prepared lecture, using relevant and recent references to support your example, explain the implications of a selected teratogen on prenatal development and consider the impact of this teratogen on family and society as well as ways to minimize the exposure.
Be sure to write in a way that is appropriate for your target audience of undergraduate students.
Deliverable
A 2–3-page paper, suitable for a lecture to undergraduate students, explaining the implications of a selected teratogen on prenatal development that considers timing, dosage, duration, genetics, etcetera and the associated consequences and costs to families, and society. The writing style should be direct and understandable that includes scholarly references.

- Summarize research that explains how a specific teratogen affects a trimester of prenatal development.
- Illustrate (explain) how a specific teratogen harms fetal development in a critical trimester.
- Explain why it is dangerous, (for example, drugs cross the blood barrier).
- For example, if the toxin affects lung development, what are the consequences?
- Implications of Exposure.
- Evaluate the potential impact or outcomes to family and society as a result of prenatal teratogen exposure.
- What are the short-term and long-term outcomes from the exposure?
