Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Health care professionals cannot ignore the use of herbs and there is enough information to know which are not safe and which may interact with prescribed medications.
B Correct. Health care professionals need to incorporate questions about the use of herbal remedies in their history taking. This is important because some of these remedies are not considered safe and others may have adverse interactions with prescribed medications.
C Incorrect. Finding out that a family is using herbal remedies, the best course of action is not to encourage the family to use alternative medications and treatments to supplement traditional medicine.
D Incorrect. Finding out that a family is using herbal remedies, the best course of action is not to advise the family to cut the adult dose of herbal remedies down by three-fourths or one-half, depending on the age and weight of the child.
