Answer to Question 1

B
Ginkgo, when taken with warfarin sodium, can cause an increased risk of bleeding. Aloe, belladonna, and brewer's yeast do not interact with warfarin sodium.

Answer to Question 2

C
Teleology is the ethical theory stating that the value of a situation is determined by its consequences. The principle of utility is a basic concept of teleology which states that an act must result in the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people involved in a situation. This theory was advocated by the philosopher John Stuart Mill. Deontology is known as the categorical imperative.
