Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
If some part of the hormonal system does not work properly, failure in one organ system may then cause changes in another part of the hormonal system. Tachycardia, diaphoresis, and increased body temperature may be related to diabetes, thyroid disease, or posterior pituitary hormone deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Goldenseal, as well as other herbal drugs, may increase the risk of bleeding in patients on anticoagulants.
