Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Mindfulness-based meditation has been shown to be effective in sleep-interfering cognitive processes. DHEA is a natural product used in the collaborative treatment of depression, not sleep-wake disorders. While acupuncture may relax the patient who is suffering from a sleep-wake disorder, this therapy has not been proven to be effective in the treatment of insomnia. While natural products are used in the collaborative treatment of sleep-wake disorders, these products are not proven to be more effective than mind and body therapies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Chamomile may interact with anticoagulants. Chamomile does not interact with anticholinergics, antidepressants, or antiemetics.
