Answer to Question 1

C
Echinacea is a popular herb many people take to boost the immune system. However, herbs may not be produced consistently or tested thoroughly, so the patient is advised to speak to the pro-vider about adding this herb. It has not been shown to be harmful to the immune system though.

Answer to Question 2

B
One's responses to loss and death are characterized by one's natural reaction to all kinds of losses, not just death. People's responses depend on their perception of the events and the mean-ing of the loss within the context of their lives and their physical, psychosocial, and spiritual life patterns. This behavior will likely be similar for all major losses, including the relocation of a pet. The other options do not demonstrate a grief reaction.
