Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Rationale: These queries are neutral in tone and do not express bias for or against the use of herbal
medicines. Option A is worded in a negative way that makes the nurse's bias plain.

Answer to Question 2

D
Aripiprazole is a new atypical antipsychotic effective against both positive and negative symptoms
of schizophrenia. It causes little or no weight gain and no increase in glucose, high- or low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol, or triglycerides, making it a reasonable choice for a client with obesity or
heart disease. Option A: Clozapine may produce agranulocytosis, making it a poor choice as a
first-line agent. Option B: Ziprasidone may prolong the QT interval, making it a poor choice for a
client with cardiac disease. Option C: Olanzapine fosters weight gain.
