Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor will lead to a hypertensive crisis. Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor does not result in hyperglycemia. Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor results in hypertension, not hypotension. Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor will not result in hyperkalemia.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Omega-3 fatty acids are neuroprotective and will enhance brain function. Dietary supplements do not support and maintain hydration. There isn't any evidence to support that chromium helps with weight maintenance. Soy isoflavone will help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, but will not help prevent Alzheimer disease.
