Answer to Question 1

C
Ginkgo interacts with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents and may cause spontaneous bleeding. It
should be used with caution by individuals who consume alcohol or who have other risk factors for
hemorrhagic stroke.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Rationale: Options A, B, and C support the rights of the dying individual. Option D: Acting on false
information robs a client of the opportunity for honest dialogue and places barriers to achieving
end-of-life developmental opportunities.
