Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Old prescriptions should be disposed of, not saved and used again for viral infections. Antibiotics are useful for bacteria, not viruses. Zinc decreases on average the number of days of symptom otology with the common cold. People with a cold should cover their mouth and nose and perform frequent hand hygiene.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Foods rich in plant estrogens may offer some relief from menopausal symptoms. Caffeine should be avoided. Fruits and vegetables, high in boron, not vitamin C, promote estrogen retention.
