Answer to Question 1

D
Vitamin E has anticoagulant properties. Generally, a multiple vitamin tablet contains the minimum
daily requirement of each vitamin. Taking nutritional supplements containing additional vitamin E
would qualify as megadosing. Megadosing has the potential for causing bruising and hemorrhage.
Option A: Vitamin A megadoses produces nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and lack of muscle
coordination. Option B: Vitamin B megadoses do not produce anticoagulant effects. Option C:
Vitamin C megadoses may produce kidney stones.

Antihypertensive agents often cause or contribute to sexual dysfunction. The other options do not
usually cause this problem.
