Answer to Question 1

C
Alcohol is metabolized in the body to the substance acetaldehyde, which in turn is further metabolized and excreted. Acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that in large doses causes flushing, nausea, and sleepiness. It is a strongly psychoactive substance. It has been suggested that acetaldehyde may be a major link between the two most common American addictions: tobacco and alcohol.

Answer to Question 2

D
Because of the adverse effects of these strategies, it is important to teach a patient to discuss any selection of a holistic therapy with the health care provider.
