Answer to Question 1

A
Echinacea is used to stimulate the immune system to prevent and treat upper respiratory infection and colds.
Ginger is known for its effect as an anti-emetic.
Black cohosh is believed to be effective for premenstrual syndrome and also menopausal hot flashes.
Chamomile is believed to have an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and anti-diarrheal effect.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Asking if the patient desires for family to be called is not assessing the patient's level of anxiety.
B The nurse should first focus on developing a trusting relationship with the patient. If the nurse takes the patient to visit someone who had the same surgery, the nurse would not be able to assess the patient's current level of anxiety.
C How serious do you think your illness is? is not the best response. It does not assess the amount of anxiety the patient is currently experiencing.
D The nurse learns from the patient both by asking questions and by making observations of nonverbal behaviour and the patient's environment. To determine the amount of anxiety the patient is experiencing, the nurse gathers information from the patient's perspective.
