Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Wild yam is an estrogen-like herb used to increase athletic performance, slow the aging process, and improve energy and stamina. It can be toxic to the liver and may cause breast pain but is the safest of these supplements. Bee pollen is associated with serious allergic reactions and random studies have found wide variety of ingredients in each product. Damiana interferes with antidiabetic agents so it would not be appropriate for this patient. Spirulina may contain toxic metals and can cause serious reactions in children and pets. It interferes with vitamin B12 absorption and there are no studies to prove it is effective in the claims it makes.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Anabolic steroids may alter lipid metabolism and cause a lack of effectiveness for lipid-lowering agents. Lipid-lowering medications do not impact anabolic steroids and there is no increased risk for toxicity of either drug.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
