Ginkgo interacts with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents and may cause spontaneous bleeding. It
should be used with caution by individuals who consume alcohol or who have other risk factors for
hemorrhagic stroke.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Rationale: Options A, B, and C support the rights of the dying individual. Option D: Acting on false
information robs a client of the opportunity for honest dialogue and places barriers to achieving
end-of-life developmental opportunities.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
