Answer to Question 1

B
All information given to a patient before he or she leaves the emergency department should be in writing. Patients who are anxious are unable to concentrate and therefore cannot retain much of what is verbally imparted. Written information can be read and referred to at later times. Patients may not be kept against their will or coerced into treatment. This constitutes false imprisonment.

Answer to Question 2

C
No standards for preparation of herbal remedies exist, so dosages may vary widely from batch to batch, even in preparations made by one company, and secondary ingredients may cause variations in therapeutic effects. Research does generally suggest that St. John's wort has a beneficial effect on mild to moderate depression and may be comparable to traditional antidepressant medications.
