Answer to Question 1

A
Kava-kava should be used with caution in patients with liver disease because of its potentially hepatotoxic effects. The other health problems do not pose immediate dangers.

Answer to Question 2

A
Strengthening patients' self-esteem is an important aspect of psychotherapeutic management and a key part of the nurse's role. The distracters are not always therapeutic.
