Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 states that the supplement label may make claims about the product's effect on body structure and function such as promotes healthy urinary tract. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 states that the government has the responsibility to prove that the dietary supplement is unsafe. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 states that dietary supplements do not have to be tested prior to marketing. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 states that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the power to remove from the market any product that poses a significant or unreasonable risk to the public.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Ginkgo biloba will interact with warfarin (Coumadin) to promote increased bleeding potential that may lead to petechiae and bleeding from the gums. An international normalized ratio (INR) of 3.0 is within a normal range. Hypoglycemia, (blood glucose of 56), is not the result of an interaction between Ginkgo biloba and warfarin (Coumadin). Headache, dizziness, sweating, and agitation, which are signs of serotonin syndrome, are not the result of an interaction between Ginkgo biloba and warfarin (Coumadin).
