Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Ginkgo is contraindicated with the use of antiplatelet drugs, such as ASA, due to the risk of bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
A priority in client education surrounding the use of herbal remedies is emphasizing the importance of keeping care providers informed of exactly what remedies the client is currently using. Prescriptions are not necessary for common herbal remedies, and dosage adjustments should be made in consultation with a health care professional.
