Answer to Question 1

4
Herbal products, over-the-counter remedies, and dietary supplements may have potential interactions with medications that are being prescribed, and a history of use of these products is necessary to avoid possible drug interactions.

Answer to Question 2

1
Even though most of the hormones in the endocrine system are under a negative feedback mechanism, estradiol is not one of those hormones. Estradiol is controlled by a positive feedback mechanism in that when it increases, there will be in an increase in the production of follicle-stimulating hormone by the anterior pituitary.
