Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Mechanical lifts and lift teams are essential when the patient is unable to assist. The patient's weight makes the mechanical lift the most appropriate option for the transfer.
B The statement, I'll certainly need someone to help me with this transfer, is not directly related to the implementation of the actual transfer.
C The statement, Eating in an upright position will certainly make lunch more enjoyable for him, is not directly related to the implementation of the actual transfer.
D The statement, Maybe he would enjoy being transferred into the dayroom to eat with the others, is not directly related to the implementation of the actual transfer.

Answer to Question 2

B
The federal Food and Drugs Act states that all drugs must be proven safe and effective before they can be sold to the public. In 2004, Health Canada launched a six-year program to regulate all over-the-counter natural health products, including herbal therapies and homeopathic medi-cines. Natural health products that have been approved for sale under the new regulations have been assigned a Drug Identification Number (DIN; DIN-HM for homeopathic medicines) or Natural Product Number (NPN). These numbers certify that the product has passed a review of their formulation, labelling, and instructions for use. Health Canada advises Canadians only to use health products that carry a DIN, DIN-HM, or NPN on the label.
Many people believe, incorrectly, that because herbs are natural plants, they will not cause harm or side effects.
Not all companies follow strict quality control and manufacturing guidelines, which set standards for acceptable levels of pesticides, residual solvents, bacterial levels, and heavy metals. For this reason, herbal medicine should be purchased from reputable manufacturers.
Concurrent use of herbal or other natural products with prescription or over-the-counter medica-tions should be monitored. Herbs can inhibit or enhance a particular medication's site of action.
