Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Ginkgo biloba has been found to be the most useful herbal therapy in treating memory loss. Herbal remedies such as passion flower, Valerian root, and skullcap have soothing effects on the nervous system and are used for anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Before using herbal remedies, it is imperative that the client's medication regimen be carefully assessed to prevent potentially adverse reactions. This assessment is more significant than the assessment of body systems, the client's adherence to treatment or his knowledge of adverse effects.
