Answer to Question 1

B
Echinacea is contraindicated in clients with diabetes, asthma, cancer, autoimmune disease, mul-tiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, leukemia, HIV/AIDS, lupus, or allergies to the daisy family, and should not be used for longer than eight weeks.
Headaches are not listed as a contraindication to taking echinacea. Headaches may be caused by taking valerian.
Gastrointestinal disturbance is not listed as a contraindication to taking echinacea. Gastrointesti-nal disturbance may be caused by taking valerian.
Taking oral contraceptives is not listed as a contraindication to taking echinacea. Oral contracep-tives may interact with saw palmetto.

Answer to Question 2

B
A trochanter roll prevents external rotation of the hips when the client is in a supine position.
The footboard prevents footdrop by maintaining the feet in dorsiflexion.
The trapeze bar allows the client to pull with the upper extremities to raise the trunk off the bed, to assist in transfer from bed to wheelchair, or to perform upper arm exercises.
A bed board is used to increase back support and alignment, especially with a soft mattress.
