Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
St. John's wort, used to alleviate depression, increases the risk of abortion, bleeding, and birth defects. Ginkgo, also used for depression, may cause hemorrhage with pregnancy loss.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Many of the CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) therapies are based on the accepted theories of gate control and the fact that natural endorphins control pain and can be stimulated by drugs or alternative means.
