Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The quality of herb preparations can vary, so it is important that patients purchase herbal remedies from reputable manufacturers. When appropriately used, herbs are generally safe and have fewer side effects than conventional medications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Echinacea may have some benefit in reducing the incidence and duration of the common cold. Ginkgo biloba, ginger, and St. John's wort are useful for other conditions, but these therapies would not be helpful for this patient.
