Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Lavender is a plant that is used for ornamentation; it may be processed into an essential oil for aromatherapy or used in potpourri. It is not an herbal product for which one must be concerned. CNS depressants should never be mixed with chamomile, hawthorn, kava, melatonin, or stinging nettle because they also act as CNS depressants and may potentiate the effect of prescribed medications or cause serious side effects.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Attractiveness is strongly equated with thinness, which is frequently glamorized in the media. Articles about eating disorders, programs that emphasize good nutrition, and information about coping behaviors would be beneficial to the client.
