Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback:
Although explaining the scientific principles underlying drug action is often appropriate, the same objective can be achieved through the use of culturally relevant terms and concepts. Recommending additional treatments is unnecessary and may be inappropriate. Threats or predictions of dire consequences may impede the communication process.
