Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Many herbal products increase bleeding potential and reduce the effects of anticoagulant drugs. Hair growth, urine output, and vision loss might be seen, but are not common.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The DSHEA does not require herbal products to conform to the same standards the FDA requires of drugs. It does require that herbal product labels state that they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
