Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1:The restrictions placed by the FDA are stricter is incorrect because FDA restrictions are broader, and cover information about nonFDA-approved uses of certain drugs.
Rationale 2:People are using more herbs, so the risk for interaction is greater is incorrect. While the use of herbal products has increased, this is not the underlying reason for increased adverse potential.
Rationale 3:Drugs are being developed at a faster rate than their risk can be assessed is correct. Because of the higher number of drugs being approved for therapy, the potential for adverse drugdrug and drugherbal interactions is greater than ever before.
Rationale 4:Managed care has made a greater number of drugs available to consumers is incorrect because managed care involvement does not come into play with higher number of interactions.
