Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Garlic, whole-grain foods, and soy products are thought to decrease cholesterol. Bananas and St. John's wort are not known to lower cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
The liver biopsy is performed under local or general anesthesia. Postprocedural care will include positioning on the right side for the first 2 hours, and assessing pain, vital signs and the puncture site. The patient should not cough as it increases intra-abdominal pressure and may stimulate bleeding.
