Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Vitamin C and A supplements have been recommended for promoting the prevention and management of infections. Soy is a useful substitute when a person is lactose-intolerant, but it has not been claimed to boost immunity. Consumption of onions has not proved to be helpful in promoting immunity. Although taking Siberian ginseng may help increase immunity, including more refined sugar in the diet does not.

Answer to Question 2

C
Behavioral problems associated with a lack of judgment and restlessness may also occur. Restlessness in the head-injured patient may be caused by the need for a change of position, pain, or the need to empty the bladder.
