Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Arnica is a topical cream or oral pellets used for muscle soreness or bruising, joint sprains, or strains. Calendula is an ointment applied to cuts, scrapes, burns, sores, and nonfungal eruptions. Nux vomica is a remedy for stress, overwork, impatience, and irritability. Ignatia is a remedy taken immediately following grief or loss and extreme sadness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Safety is paramount when herbs and supplements are being considered. One of the most salient safety considerations surrounds the potential for drug interactions. This consideration supersedes a client's culture and previous use of herbs. It is beyond most nurses' scope of practice to recommend pharmacological alternatives to an herb or supplement.
