Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Clients with egg allergies may not tolerate lipid emulsions because they contain egg phospholipids as emulsifiers.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: St. John's Wort is known to jeopardize the success of conventional treatment such as with the concomitant use of protease inhibitors. St. John's Wort has been used to treat mental disorders and depressions. It is not used to promote satiety. Taking this supplement is not advised with the HAART protocol. Antioxidants function to neutralize the effects of damage to cells.
