Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Psychoanalysis is not considered alternative medicine but rather a traditional medical modality.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The nurse should discuss herbal remedies with the client in terms of potential adverse side effects and interactions. Particularly in the case of ephedra-based remedies, herbal preparations can have severe toxic and potentially life-threatening consequences for some clients. Although the other options are important, the correct answer would be a primary concern in this case.
