Answer to Question 1

A
It is important to ask specific questions to find out about patients' use of herbal products because many individuals consider these to be natural and harmless and do not consider them to be drugs or supplements. Patients are usually aware of at least the main ingredients in supplements that they take. Health care providers may be able to help patients avoid spending money on products that have no efficacy, but they are more concerned about the safety of these products and poten-tial interactions with drugs and nutrients. Most patients are open about their use of herbal prod-ucts unless they perceive that the health care provider disapproves of their use.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
EN is used over PN, unless the EN is contraindicated. PN is used with extreme caution due to the increased risk of infection.
