Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Kava should be used with caution in patients with liver disease because of its potentially hepatotoxic effects. The other health problems do not pose immediate dangers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 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 have the potential for causing bruising and hemorrhage. Excess Vitamin A, B, and C do not produce anticoagulant effects.
