Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

Before using herbal remedies, it is imperative that the client's medication regimen be carefully assessed to prevent potentially adverse reactions. This assessment is more significant than the assessment of body systems, the client's adherence to treatment or his knowledge of adverse effects.
